Function
[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
Schistosoma japonicum glutathione S-transferase (SjGST) is a common fusion tag in recombinant protein production, and its 3-dimensional structure has been studied in the context of drug design. We have determined the crystal structure of non-fused SjGST complexed with glutathione, and compare it to complexes between glutathione and SjGST fusion proteins.
