Abstract excerpt
Microsomal glutathione S-transferase-I (MGST-I) has been thought to be important for protecting the cell from oxidative damages and/or xenobiotics. We have previously identified the Microsomal glutathione S-transferase-like (Mgstl) gene, a Drosophila homologue of human MGST-I. To investigate the function of the enzyme using Drosophila as a model system, we examined the expression pattern of Mgstl during...
