Characterisation of Dermanyssus gallinae glutathione S-transferases and their potential as acaricide detoxification proteins [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) facilitate detoxification of drugs by catalysing the conjugation of the reduced glutathione (GSH) to electrophilic xenobiotic substrates and therefore have a function in multi-drug resistance.
