Function
GST28_SCHHA Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles.[1] 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.[2]
