Description:
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene fusion systems have been widely used for obtaining large amounts of desirable protein in Escherichia coli. The fusion protein, which contains a GST tail can then be purified through affinity chromatography. MCLAB’s glutathione agarose is designed for the specific purification of GST recombinant proteins and other glutathione-binding proteins. Glutathione agarose is uniquely formulated for excellent binding capacity and purity of the protein of interest.
