Abstract
The anionic homodimeric theta glutathione S-transferase (EC 2.5.1.18), with specific activities of 4.6 units/mg with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as substrate, from the eyes of the shrimp Penaeus japonicus, binds to corticosterone, which was confirmed by the analysis of the conjugate by SDS-PAGE and fluorography of proteins with bound (3)H-corticosterone.The reaction of the theta glutathione S-transferase with corticosterone was prevented by the presence of glutathione at 10 mM.
