Abstract excerpt
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are widely distributed neurotoxins that accumulate and transform in bivalves, but the metabolic mechanisms after exposure of Azumapecten farreri (A. farreri) to PSTs remain unknown. To verify the phase I (cytochrome P450, CYP450)-II (glutathione S-transferase, GST)-III (ABC transport) metabolic genes for PSTs, we used RNA interference (RNAi) to silence target genes (CYP46A1,...
