UniProt functional annotation for Q25595

UniProt code: Q25595.

Organism: Clonorchis sinensis (Chinese liver fluke).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Spiralia; Lophotrochozoa; Platyhelminthes; Trematoda; Digenea; Opisthorchiida; Opisthorchiata; Opisthorchiidae; Clonorchis.
 
Function: Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00003701}.
 
Function: GST isoenzymes appear to play a central role in the parasite detoxification system. Other functions are also suspected including a role in increasing the solubility of haematin in the parasite gut. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00002446}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=glutathione + RX = a halide anion + an S-substituted glutathione + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16437, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16042, ChEBI:CHEBI:17792, ChEBI:CHEBI:57925, ChEBI:CHEBI:90779; EC=2.5.1.18; Evidence={ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00000710};
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00011738}.
Similarity: Belongs to the GST superfamily. Mu family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00005861}.
