Abstract

A fat body-specific glutathione S-transferase cDMA was cloned from the spider, Araneus ventricosus. The cDNA encoding A. ventricosus glutathione S-transferase (AvGST) is 645 base pairs long with an open reading frame of 215 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of approximately 24 kDa. Northern blot analysis showed the tissue-specifically expression of AvGST in the A. ventricosus fat body.
