The μ-class glutathione S-transferase (SbGSTμ) involved in immune defense and detoxification in the ark shell Scapharca broughtonii

Key Points

• Immune defense mechanisms rely heavily on μ-class glutathione S-transferase for protection against toxins.
• Key evidence illustrates that SbGSTμ activity enhances detoxification capabilities in Scapharca broughtonii under stress.
• Observational analysis shows mitochondrial pathways interact closely with SbGSTμ during immune response.
• Findings highlight the importance of glutathione S-transferases in environmental adaptation and resilience.
