Analysis of UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0057-LGZ)

Introduction

UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) is an important class of biotransformation superfamily enzymes. They catalyze the transfer of glycosyl residues from activated nucleotide sugars to acceptor hydrophobic molecules and function in several physiological processes, including detoxification, olfaction, stratum corneum formation, and pigmentation. At the genome-wide level, the diversity, taxonomy, scaffold position, traits, phylogeny, and evolution of superfamily genes, as well as their associations and mutations with pyrethroid resistance, remain poorly understood.
