Glutathione S-transferase P is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTP1 gene. [4] [5]
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of enzymes that play an important role in detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of many hydrophobic and electrophilic compounds with reduced glutathione. Based on their biochemical, immunologic, and structural properties, the soluble GSTs are categorized into four main classes: alpha, mu, pi, and theta. The glutathione S-transferase pi gene (GSTP1) is a polymorphic gene encoding active, functionally different GSTP1 variant proteins that are thought to function in xenobiotic metabolism and play a role in susceptibility to cancer, and other diseases. [6]
GSTP1 has been shown to interact with Fanconi anemia, complementation group C [7] [8] and MAPK8. [9]
GST-Pi is expressed in many human tissues, particularly in the biliary tree, renal distal convoluted tubules and lungs. [10]
Triple-negative breast cancer cells rely on glutathione-S-transferase Pi1, and inhibitors are being studied. [11] Piperlongumine has been found to silence the gene. [12]
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), previously known as ligandins, are a family of eukaryotic and prokaryotic phase II metabolic isozymes best known for their ability to catalyze the conjugation of the reduced form of glutathione (GSH) to xenobiotic substrates for the purpose of detoxification. The GST family consists of three superfamilies: the cytosolic, mitochondrial, and microsomal—also known as MAPEG—proteins. Members of the GST superfamily are extremely diverse in amino acid sequence, and a large fraction of the sequences deposited in public databases are of unknown function. The Enzyme Function Initiative (EFI) is using GSTs as a model superfamily to identify new GST functions.
Glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 is a human glutathione S-transferase.
Glutathione S-transferase A1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTA1 gene.
Fanconi anemia group C protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FANCC gene.
Fanconi anemia group D2 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FANCD2 gene. The Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC) currently includes FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCJ, FANCL, FANCM, FANCN and FANCO.
Fanconi anemia group G protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FANCG gene.
Glutathione S-transferase A2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTA2 gene.
Glutathione S-transferase Mu 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTM2 gene.
Glutathione S-transferase M3 (brain), also known as GSTM2, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the GSTM99
Glutathione S-transferase theta-2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTT2 gene.
Glutathione S-transferase Zeta 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTZ1 gene on chromosome 14.
Glutathione S-transferase Mu 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTM4 gene.
Microsomal glutathione S-transferase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MGST1 gene.
Glutathione S-transferase omega-1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTO1 gene.
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase FANCL is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FANCL gene.
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 belongs 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 disulphide-bond-forming DsbA oxidoreductase. This similarity has later allowed the enzyme GSTK1 to be renamed to DsbA-L. Research has also suggested that several variations of the GSTK1 gene can be responsible for metabolic diseases and certain types of cancer.
Partner and localizer of BRCA2, also known as PALB2 or FANCN, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PALB2 gene.

Fanconi anemia, complementation group M, also known as FANCM is a human gene. It is an emerging target in cancer therapy, in particular cancers with specific genetic deficiencies.
