The major rat heart glutathione S-transferases are anionic isozymes composed of Yb size subunits.
The GSH S-transferases from rat heart cytosol has been purified by S-hexylglutathione-linked Sepharose-6B affinity chromatography. The majority (approximately 80%) of these GSH S-transferases are anionic isozymes which can be resolved further by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and isoelectric focusing. They are mainly composed of Yb size (Mr = 27,000) subunits with different substrate specificity patterns from the rat liver anionic GSH S-transferases. The major cationic GSH S-transferases from liver are not expressed in rat heart. Although some cationic GSH S-transferases from rat heart can be purified by CM-cellulose column chromatography they are composed of major subunits of Yb electrophoretic mobility.
