Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The zeta-class glutathione transferase GSTZ1-1 catalyses the glutathione-dependent isomerization of maleylacetoacetate to fumarylacetoacetate in the tyrosine catabolic pathway and the biotransformation of alpha-halo acids, including dichloroacetic acid (DCA). Genetic polymorphisms in the coding sequence of GSTZ1 result in significant changes in enzyme function, and deficiency of GSTZ1-1 in mice causes...
