A high activity glutathione S-transferase T1-1 (GSTT1-1) towards dichloromethane was isolated from human liver cytosol and purified to homogenity in 18.5% yield with a purification factor of 4400-fold. The GSTT1-1 was also isolated from erythrocytes, but the enzyme activity decreased rapidly in the final stages of purification. The purified GSTT1-1-s were homo-dimeric enzymes with a subunit M1 value 25,300 and pI 6 64, as confirmed by SDS-PAGE, IEF and Western blot analysis. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of GSTT1-1 from liver and red blood cells, analyzed up to the 12th amino acid, were identical. Immunoblot analysis revealed that GSTT1-1 was also present in lung, kidney, brain, skeletal muscle, heart, small intestine and spleen, but not in lymphocytes.

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
