Glutathione S-transferase (28GST) with molecular mass of 28 kDa is an antioxidant enzyme abundant in Clonorchis sinensis. In adult C. sinensis, 28GST was localized in tegumental syncytium, cytons, parenchyma, and sperm tails examined by immunoelectron microscopy. C. sinensis 28GST was earlier found to neutralize bioreactive compounds and to be rich in eggs. Accordingly, it is suggested that 28GST plays important roles in phase II defense system and physiological roles in worm fecundity of C. sinensis.
谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(28GST)分子量为28千道尔顿,是华支睾吸虫中丰富的一种抗氧化酶。在华支睾吸虫成虫中,通过免疫电子显微镜检查发现28GST定位于皮层合胞体、细胞体、实质组织和精子尾部。较早发现华支睾吸虫28GST能中和生物活性化合物且在虫卵中含量丰富。因此,有人提出28GST在华支睾吸虫的Ⅱ相防御系统中起重要作用,并在虫体繁殖的生理过程中发挥作用。
