Abstract excerpt
Glutathione transferase zeta1 (GSTZ1) catalyzes glutathione (GSH)-dependent dechlorination of dichloroacetate (DCA), an investigational drug with therapeutic potential in metabolic disorders and cancer. GSTZ1 is expressed in both hepatic cytosol and mitochondria. Here, we examined the ontogeny and characterized the properties of human mitochondrial GSTZ1. GSTZ1 expression and activity with DCA were determined in...
