Abstract:Delta GST is an insect‐specific class and a prominent class of the glutathione S‐transferases family that is involved in xenobiotic detoxification and antioxidant defense. The full‐length complementary DNA of delta‐class GST from Penaeus monodon (PmDeltaGST; 839 bp long with a 657 bp coding region) was cloned. The encoded polypeptide of 218 amino acids had a predicted molecular mass of 24.30 kDa. Sequence homology and phylogenetic analysis showed that PmDeltaGST was significant similarity to GST genes in crust… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
