GST3 also known as GST pi or GSTP is a protein part of the glutathione S-transferase family. These enzymes are involved in detoxifying processes by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione to harmful substances. GSTP is approximately 23 kDa in size and is predominantly expressed in mammalian tissues including the liver and lung. These tissues play active roles in detoxifying external chemicals and managing oxidative stress in the body.
Biological function summary
GST3 contributes to the detoxification of xenobiotics and electrophilic compounds playing a protective role against cellular damage. It can exist as homo-dimers or form hetero-dimers with other GST family members participating in larger enzyme complexes. Through conjugation reactions GSTP helps in the detoxification processes thereby aiding cellular defenses and maintaining cellular redox balance.
Pathways
GST3 is an integral part of the phase II detoxification pathway and oxidative stress response. It interacts closely with other proteins such as Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) and helps regulate the transcription of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage. This enzyme plays a role in modulating the MAPK signaling pathway which influences cell proliferation and apoptosis.
GSTP has links to several cancer types including liver and lung cancer. Its overexpression in tumors suggests its role in cancer cell survival and resistance to chemotherapy. GSTP interacts with cancer-associated proteins like c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) influencing pathways that lead to aberrant cellular growth and transformation. It also has associations with neurodegenerative diseases given its role in counteracting oxidative stress which commonly underpins neurodegeneration.
