The specific activity with α-naphthyl acetate (a substrate, for general esterase activity) was determined. Some of the esterase activity that is normally assayed for resistance is apparently caused by the activity of the glutathione S-transferase.enEsteraseInsecticide resistanceGlutathione S-transferasesα-naphthyl acetateGlutathione S-Transferases: α-Naphthyl Acetate Activity and Possible Role in Insecticide ResistanceArticle
