Aryl hydrocarbon receptor regulates the expression of LmGSTd7 and is associated with chlorpyrifos susceptibility in Locusta migratoria

BACKGROUND The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) belongs to the bHLH‐PAS (basic Helix–Loop–Helix – Period/ARNT/Single minded) family of transcription factors. AhR is a ligand‐activated transcription factor, which participates in the sensing and transmitting stimuli of endogenous and exogenous chemicals, and subsequently activates the transcription of genes related to various physiological and detoxification functions. RESULT In this study, a...
