Function
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.
