GSTK1 Antibody Efficient Professional Protein and Antibody Platforms GSTK1 Antibody Basic information: Catalog No.: UPA63766 Source: Rabbit Size: 50ul/100ul Clonality: monoclonal Concentration: 1mg/ml Isotype: Rabbit IgG Purification: Protein A purified. Useful Information: WB:1:1000-1:2000 ICC:1:50 Applications: IHC:1:50-1:200 FC:1:50-1:100 Reactivity: Human Specificity: This antibody recognizes GSTK1 protein. Immunogen: Synthetic peptide within N terminal human GSTK1. Glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 (GSTK1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTK1 gene which is located on chromosome seven. It be- longs to the superfamily of enzymes known as glutathione S-transferase (GST), which are mainly known for cellular detoxification. The GSTK1 gene consists of eight exons and seven introns and although it is a member of the GST family, its structure has been found to be similar to bacterial HCCA (2-hydroxychromene-2-carboxylate) isomerases and bacterial disul- phide-bond-forming DsbA oxidoreductase. Research has also suggested that Description: several variations of the GSTK1 gene can be responsible for metabolic dis- eases and certain types of cancer. The amount of expression of adiponectin has been observed to be related to diseases such as insulin resistance, obe- sity, and type 2 diabetes. GSTK1 can also be a potential tool to help investi- gate cancer. Tyrosine phosphorylated proteins are responsible for many of the cell functions such as the cell’s growth, division, adhesion, and motility. These activities are also very related to cancer and thus studying this pro- tein could allow access to information which could classify tumors for prognosis and prediction.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Whole egg consumption increases gene expression within the glutathione pathway in the liver of Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats Abstract Nutrigenomic evidence supports the idea that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) arises due to the interactions between the transcriptome, individual genetic profiles, lifestyle, and diet. Since eggs are a nutrient dense food containing bioactive ingredients that modify gene expression, our goal was to examine the role of whole egg consumption on the transcriptome during T2DM.

Hayes University of Dundee, UK Introduction Glutathione S-transferase GST; EC 2.5.1.18) isoenzymes are ubiquitously distributed in nature, being found in organisms as diverse as microbes, insects, plants, ®sh, birds andmammals Hayes andPulford1995). The transferases possess various activities andparticipate in several differenttypes of reaction. Most of these enzymes can catalyse the conjugation of reduced glutathione GSH) with compounds that contain an electrophilic centre through the formation of a thioether bondbetween the sulphur atom of GSH and the substrate Chasseaud 1979; Mannervik 1985). In addition to conjugation reactions, a number of GST isoenzymes exhibit other GSH-dependent catalytic activities including the reduction of organic hydroperoxides Ketterer et al. 1990) andisomerisation of various unsaturatedcompoundsBenson et al. 1977; Jakoby andHabig 1980). These enzymes also have several non-catalytic functions that relate to the sequestering of carcinogens, intracellular transport of a wide spectrum of hydrophobic ligands, and modulation of signal transduction pathways Listowsky 1993; Adler et al. 1999; Cho et al. 2001). Glutathione S-transferases represent a complex grouping of proteins. Two entirely distinct superfamilies of enzyme have evolved that possess transferase activity Hayes andStrange 2000). The ®rst enzymes to be characterisedwere the cytosolic, or soluble, GSTs BoylandandChasseaud1969; Mannervik 1985). To dateat least 16 members of this superfamily have been identi®ed in humans Board et al. 1997, 2000; Hayes and Strange 2000).

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

Various animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been created to assist our appreciation of AD pathophysiology, as well as aid development of novel therapeutic strategies. Despite the discovery of mutated proteins that predict the development of AD, there are likely to be many other proteins also involved in this disorder. Complex physiological processes are mediated by coherent interactions of clusters of functionally related proteins. Synaptic dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of AD. Synaptic proteins are organized into multiprotein complexes in high-density membrane structures, known as lipid rafts. These microdomains enable coherent clustering of synergistic signaling proteins.

Constant change by acquired mutations and metabolic reprogramming contribute to the high inter- and intratumor heterogeneity of malignant cells, their selective growth advantage, and their resistance to anticancer therapies. In the modern era of integrative biomedicine, realizing that a personalized approach could benefit therapy treatments and patients’ prognosis, we should focus on cancer-driving advantageous modifications. Namely, reactive oxygen species (ROS), known to act as regulators of cellular metabolism and growth, exhibit both negative and positive activities, as do antioxidants with potential anticancer effects. Such complexity of oxidative homeostasis is sometimes overseen in the case of studies evaluating the effects of potential anticancer antioxidants. While cancer cells often produce more ROS due to their increased growth-favoring demands, numerous conventional anticancer therapies exploit this feature to ensure selective cancer cell death triggered by excessive ROS levels, also causing serious side effects. The activation of the cellular NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2) pathway and induction of cytoprotective genes accompanies an increase in ROS levels.
