Glutathione S-transferases from the larval gut of the silkworm Bombyx mori: cDNA cloning, gene structure, expression and distribution

Two glutathione S-transferase (GST) cDNAs, GSTD2 and GSTS2, were cloned from the silkworm Bombyx mori. The B. mori GSTD2 (BmGSTD2) gene spans 4371 bp and consists of four introns and five exons that encode 222 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of BmGSTD2 showed 58% protein sequenc...
