General description

4-nitrophenethyl bromide is an electrophile which accepts a lone pair of electrons from one of the nitrogen atoms in the polyazamacrocycle.

Application

4-nitrophenethyl bromide is used a s a GST T1-1 substrate for identifying many kinetic parameters (Km, Kcat) for hGST T1-1 variants.

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Nitrophenethyl bromide is used as a marker in for the θ-class of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). It activates the human θ-class glutathione transferase T1-1 enzyme.

A novel glutathione S-transferase (GST) was purified from broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica). Partial amino-acid sequencing indicated that the protein shared significant homology with several different plant GSTs from maize, silene, Dianthus, Nicotiana and Triticum, but little homology to yeast
