Comment typeDescription
Biophysicochemical PropertiesKinetic parameters: KM=1.1 mM for 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587441}; KM=0.084 mM for glutathione {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587441};
Catalytic ActivityRX + glutathione = HX + R-S-glutathione. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587441}.
FunctionConjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. May govern uptake and detoxification of both endogenous compounds and xenobiotics at the testis and brain blood barriers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587441}.
