Crucial enzymes keeping human and different organisms from in all probability poisonous chemical substances, Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are valuable to uncomplicated mechanisms resembling rigidity reaction and physiological services together with safety opposed to lipid peroxidation. This publication describes the position of GST in toxicology, targeting their pharmacologic and physiological roles and their relevance to organic toxicology. It covers constitution and serve as, gene rules, and those enzymes’ involvement in sign transduction. Reflecting present developments during this increasing learn zone, Toxicology of Glutathione Transferases is the single resource that info the equipment of GST examine.
