Glutathione S-transferases (GST) form an important family of biotransformation enzymes catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione to a great variety of xenobiotic compounds. The objective of this study was to compare the different characteristics of GST from freshly isolated rainbow trout hepatocytes with those corresponding to the total liver of the same fish, in order to establish the similarities. GST was purified by affinity chromatography and enzymatic activity was determined towards two substrates, 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and ethacrynic acid (ETHA). The different isoenzymes were determined by HPLC associated with SDS-PAGE. Slight differences between the samples were obtained when the results corresponding to the enzyme activity were compared. HPLC results showed that all GST isoforms present in the total liver samples were represented in the isolated cells too, corresponding to isoforms with molecular masses of approximately 25.5 and 23.0 kDa.

D017686 Oncorhynchus mykiss A large stout-bodied, sometimes anadromous, TROUT found in still and flowing waters of the Pacific coast from southern California to Alaska. It has a greenish back, a whitish belly, and pink, red, or lavender stripes on the sides, with usually a sprinkling of black dots. It is highly regarded as a sport and food fish. Its former name was Salmo gairdneri. The sea-run rainbow trouts are often called steelheads. Redband trouts refer to interior populations of rainbows.
