Human schistosomiasis is a common parasitic disease endemic in many tropical and
subtropical countries. One barrier to achieving long-term control of this disease has been re …

We first expressed a Mu-class GST from white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in Escherichia
coli, and then characterized the purified recombinant enzyme with respect to the effects of …

Metals and pesticides are common pollutants and the modulation of biomarkers can indicate
sub-lethal influences on the physiology of organisms inhabiting impacted aquatic systems …

Approximately 200 species of freshwater prawns of the genus Macrobrachium are
circumtropical in distribution and native to all continents except Europe (Holthuis 1980; see …

Glutathione-S-transferase enzymes (GSTs) are essential components of the phase II
detoxification system and protect organisms from oxidative stress induced by xenobiotics …

Glutathione S‐transferases (GSTs) are a family of detoxifying enzymes that catalyze the
conjugation of glutathione (GSH) to electrophiles, thereby increasing the solubility of GSH …

The distribution of glutathione transferase (GST) in the major organs of African river prawn
(Macrobrachium vollenhovenii) was studied. All the organs studied had GST activity. The …

Enzimas de detoxificação e excreção celular são importantes para a manutenção da
homeostase celular. Neste trabalho foi caracterizada a transcrição de mRNA, a expressão …

Catfish are hardy in nature and it is not known whether the presence of efficient detoxication
enzymes is partly responsible for this trait. To investigate this, we have assessed induction of …

Glutathione transferase (GST) was purified from the hindgut of grasshopper (Zonocerus
variegatus) a polyphagous insect. The purified enzyme had a native molecular weight of …
