Piscine UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1B [PDF]

Aquatic Toxicology, 2007
Glucuronidation is an important detoxification pathway for organic pollutants in fish. We report here the isolation and characterisation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) genes from the closely related marine flatfish, plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and flounder (Platichthys flesus).

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase is involved in susceptibility of Chironomus kiiensis Tokunaga, 1936 (Diptera: Chironomidae) to insecticides

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) could transform various exogenous and endogenous compounds, which help detoxification of pesticides in insects. To investigate the role of UGTs in the detoxification metabolism of insecticides in Chironomus kiiensis ...
