Abstract
A mu-class glutathione S-transferase (Cs26GST) of molecular mass 26 kDa was characterized from Clonorchis sinensis. In adult C. sinensis, the distribution of the Cs26GST was investigated by immuno-histochemistry and electron microscopy. Cs26GST was localized to the tegument and parenchyma. Immunogold labeling was strong in the tegumental cell bodies and moderate in the tegument and ova in the oviduct. It is suggested that Cs26GST plays a role in the metabolism and fecundity of C. sinensis. Index Descriptors and Abbreviations: Trematoda; Clonorchis sinensis; glutathione S-transferase (EC 2.5.1.18); localization; parenchyma; tegument; GST, glutathione S-transferase; Cs26GST, 26 kDa GST of C. sinensis
