Characterisation of Dermanyssus gallinae glutathione S-transferases and their potential as acaricide detoxification proteins

Abstract 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. As a result, knowledge of GSTs can inform both drug r...
