ABC transporters are involved in defense against permethrin insecticide in the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Proteins from the ABC family (ATP-binding cassette) represent the largest known group of efflux pumps, responsible for transporting specific molecules across lipid membranes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. In arthropods they have been shown to play a role in insecticide defense/resistance. The presence of ABC transporters and their possible association with insecticide transport have not...
