Brief description Recent studies have shown that a single amino acid change in an enzyme called glutathione tranferase Pi (GSTP)1 protects against the likelihood of developing asthma. This enzyme is found in the cells that line the airways and detoxifies harmful chemicals such as those found in pollutants and cigarette smoke. The aim of our study is to understand how GSTP1 protects against the development of asthma.
