Research Article: Copy Number Variation in the GSTM and GSTT Genes and the Risk of Liver Cirrhosis in Eastern Ethiopia

Date Published: 2023-10-20

Abstract:
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes are generally known to protect cells from oxidative stress due to metabolic products of endogenous and exogenous chemicals. GST’s biochemical defense mechanisms include both the reduction of organic hydroperoxides, which contribute to oxidative stress, and the conjugation of electrophilic chemicals with glutathione, which facilitates their transport out of the cell., There are genes coding for the cytosolic form of GST enzymes in humans and are classified into classes: alpha (GSTA), mu (GSTM), pi (GSTP), theta (GSTT), omega (GSTO), and zeta (GSTZ). These genes are known to be highly polymorphic, which can result in altered detoxification and oxidative stress defense capacity in certain tissues, particularly the liver, which has a central metabolic role.,
