Tissue distribution and subunit structures of the multiple forms of glutathione S-transferase in the rat.

PMCID: PMC1162609  PMID: 7305931

Abstract

A study of the subunit structures of the multiple forms of glutathione S-transferase in rat kidney, testis, lung and spleen is shown to be consistent with a proteolytic model for the generation of the multiple forms.
