[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GST26_SCHJA GST26_SCHJA]] Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. GST isoenzymes appear to play a central role in the parasite detoxification system. Other functions are also suspected including a role in increasing the solubility of haematin in the parasite gut.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

The crystal structure of the 26 kDa glutathione S-transferase from Schistosoma japonicum (SjGST) was determined at 3 A resolution in the new space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The structure of orthorhombic SjGST reveals unique features of the ligand-binding site and dimer interface when compared with previously reported structures. SjGST is recognized as the major detoxification enzyme of S. japonicum, a pathogenic helminth causing schistosomiasis. As resistance against the established inhibitor of SjGST, praziquantel, has been reported these results might prove to be valuable for the development of novel drugs.

X-ray structure of glutathione S-transferase from Schistosoma japonicum in a new crystal form reveals flexibility of the substrate-binding site.,Rufer AC, Thiebach L, Baer K, Klein HW, Hennig M Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun. 2005 Mar 1;61(Pt, 3):263-5.
