Product Specific Information

• Immunohistochemistry (PFA fixed): Incubate antibody for 30 min at room temperature.
• Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95°C, followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 min.

Target Information

Cytosolic and membrane-bound forms of glutathione S-transferase are encoded by two distinct supergene families. Eight distinct classes of soluble cytoplasmic mammalian glutathione S-transferases have been identified: alpha, kappa, mu, omega, pi, sigma, theta, and zeta.
This gene encodes a glutathione S-transferase belonging to the mu class, which detoxifies electrophilic compounds including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins, and oxidative stress products by conjugation with glutathione.
The mu class genes are organized in a cluster on chromosome 1p13.3 and are highly polymorphic, affecting susceptibility to carcinogens and drug response. Null mutations in this gene class have been linked to increased cancer risk due to higher sensitivity to environmental toxins. Multiple protein isoforms are encoded by transcript variants.
