    Abstract

    Glutathione transferase zeta (GSTZ1-1) catalyzes the biotransformation of a range of α-haloalkanoates and the isomerization of maleylacetoacetate to furmarylacetoacetate. The elimination half-life of DCA is increased in human subjects or rats given single or multiple doses of DCA, and the biotransformation of DCA to glyoxylate is decreased in liver cytosol isolated from rats given DCA. The DCA-induced decrease in its metabolism was shown to be due to the inactivation of rat, mouse, and human cytosolic GSTZ1-1 and with the inactivation of recombinant polymorphic variants of hGSTZ1-1. The inactivation of hGSTZ1-1 is accompanied by the covalent modification of the protein by [14C]DCA and [35S]glutathione.
