This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This GSTM1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 184-211 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human GSTM1.
GSTM1 is a glutathione S-transferase that belongs to the mu class. The mu class of enzymes functions in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress, by conjugation with glutathione. The mu class of enzymes are organized in a gene cluster on chromosome 1p13.3 and are known to be highly polymorphic. These genetic variations can change an individual's susceptibility to carcinogens and toxins as well as affect the toxicity and efficacy of certain drugs.
