Among the genes that encode the glutathione S-transferase (GST) superfamily of Phase 2 metabolizing enzymes, GSTP1 has the highest expression in the lung. The polymorphic GSTP1 gene encodes glutathione S-transferase pi, which is an enzyme that detoxifies cigarette carcinogens, such as benzo-[a]-pyrene. The variant GSTP1 GG genotype is associated with lower enzymatic activity and higher DNA adduct levels in human lymphocytes compared with the AA genotype.
