It has a molecular weight of approximately 26 kilodaltons. GSTM4 is part of the mu class of Glutathione S-transferases and is expressed widely in many tissues with notable expression in the liver brain and heart. The enzyme facilitates the conjugation of the reduced form of glutathione to electrophilic compounds aiding in the detoxification of endogenous and xenobiotic substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nGSTM4 functions as a detoxification enzyme that protects cells from oxidative stress and damage from harmful compounds. It operates as part of a complex system of enzymes collectively known for their role in phase II metabolism which is important for clearing toxins from the body. By contributing to the neutralization of reactive oxygen species GSTM4 helps maintain cell health and prevent damage to cellular components like DNA proteins and lipids which could otherwise lead to cell dysfunction or death.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nGSTM4's activity integrates into pathways such as glutathione metabolism and the xenobiotic detoxification pathway. These pathways utilize GSTM4 and other proteins including the glutathione itself to neutralize toxic compounds and mitigate cellular stress. Other related proteins in these pathways include various isoforms of Glutathione S-transferases highlighting a cooperative network essential for effective detoxification processes inside the body.\u003cbr\u003e\nResearch links GSTM4 to susceptibility to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. It is implicated in the risk of certain cancers particularly those related to oxidative stress and damage where its detoxification capability may be challenged. Furthermore GSTM4 interacts with proteins such as p53 a critical protein in regulating the cell cycle and apoptosis demonstrating its potential influence on cancer development. In neurodegenerative diseases the relationship between GSTM4 and oxidative damage highlights its significance in the context of diseases like Alzheimer's where increased oxidative stress plays a role in disease pathology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845200171177,"sku":"ab265995","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab265995","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
