Amino acid sequence of glutathione S-transferase b from guinea pig liver

The amino acid sequence of glutathione S-transferase b (GST b) from guinea pig liver was determined by conventional methods. GST b was composed of two identical subunits, each with 217 amino acid residues. As GSTs are generally classified into three classes, alpha, mu, and pi, GST b belonged to class mu and the amino acid sequence of GST b showed about 80% homology with that of rat GST Yb.
