benzoapyrene phase 2 glutathione s transferase Metabolic activation of benzo[a]pyrene into a carcinogenic metabolite Glutathione S-transferases in kidney and
Description
The S-acetyl modification serves two purposes: it makes the molecule more stable and resistant to degradation in the GI tract, and it may help the molecule cross cell membranes more easily than unmodified reduced glutathione
