The formation of formaldehyde from dichloromethane is influenced by the polymorphism of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) Theta, in the same way as the metabolism of methyl bromide, methyl chloride, methyl iodide and ethylene oxide.

Arch Toxicol. 1993;67(3):173-8.

A hitherto unknown glutathione-S-transferase in human erythrocytes displays polymorphism: three quarters of the population ("conjugators") possess, whereas one quarter ("non-conjugators") lack this specific activity.

We have developed a routine ex vivo photometric phenotyping procedure based on the determination of bromide release rates from the hGSTT1-1-catalyzed glutathione conjugation of the substrate methyl bromide in EDTA blood samples under standard conditions (1,000 ppm methyl bromide, 10 min incubation).
