Low concentrations of cystamine and cystine inactivated human placenta glutathione S-transferase (GST-pi) in cytosolic fraction very effectively, as did the purified enzyme, through the thiol/disulfide exchange reaction. Mixed disulfide formation of GST-pi in cytosol was prevented by thioltransferase existing in

System x(c)(-) represents an intriguing target in attempts to understand the pathological states of the central nervous system. Also called a cystine-glutamate antiporter, system x(c)(-) typically functions by exchanging one molecule of extracellular cystine for one molecule of intracellular glutamate.
