This article is an overview of the current knowledge of insect glutathione transferases. Three
major topics are discussed: the glutathione transferase contributions to insecticide …

Glutathione transferases (GSTs) belong to a ubiquitous multigenic family of enzymes
involved in diverse biological processes including xenobiotic detoxification and secondary …

Glutathione transferases (GSTs) represent a widespread multigenic enzyme family able to
modify a broad range of molecules. These notably include secondary metabolites and …

Pterins are one of the major sources of bright coloration in animals. They are produced
endogenously, participate in vital physiological processes and serve a variety of signalling …

In insects, the precise timing of moulting and metamorphosis is strictly guided by
ecdysteroids that are synthesised from dietary cholesterol in the prothoracic gland (PG). In …

Most will agree that one major achievement in the bio-separation techniques is affinity
chromatography. This coined terminology covers a myriad of separation approaches that …

To elucidate the function of Omega class glutathione transferases (GSTs)(EC 2.5. 1.18) in
multicellular organisms, the GSTO‐1 from Caenorhabditis elegans (GSTO‐1; C29E4. 7) was …

The Omega-class cytosolic glutathione transferases (GSTs) have distinct structural and
functional attributes that allow them to perform novel roles unrelated to the functions of other …

As classical phase II detoxification enzymes, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have been
implicated in insecticide resistance and may have evolved in response to toxins in the niche …

The cytosolic GST (glutathione transferase) superfamily has been annotated in the
Drosophila melanogaster genome database. Of 36 genes, four undergo alternative splicing …
