Fernandez-Canon and Penalva (1998) have reported the Zeta GSTs in Aspergillus nidulans and humans are identical to an enzyme maleylacetoacetate isomerase (MAAI), which catalyzes the glutathione-dependent cis--trans isomerization of maleylacetoacetate to fumarylacetoacetate in the catabolic pathway of tyrosine/phenylalanine.
