Abstract
Detoxifying enzyme mRNAs are potentially useful stress biomarkers. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) metabolises lipophilic organic contaminants and mitigates oxidative damage caused by environmental pollutants. Herein, 12 Chironomus kiiensis GSTs (CkGSTs1−6, CkGSTt1−2, CkGSTd1−2, CkGSTm1−2) were cloned and grouped into sigma, theta, delta and microsomal subclasses. Open reading frames (450−699 bp) encode 170−232 amino acid proteins with predicted...
