Nucleotide sequence of a class mu glutathione S-transferase from chicken liver

A clone coding for glutathione S-transferase (GST) CL2 was isolated from a chicken liver cDNA library. This clone (819 bp) encodes a polypeptide comprising 219 amino acids with a molecular weight of 25,717, excluding the initiator methionine. The primary amino acid sequence of the enzyme has 47% identical sequence with other class mu GSTs.
