High impact information on GstD7

Thus our present results indicate that DmGSTD3 and DmGSTD7 are probably functional genes [1].
But phenol was only able to suppress the GstD7 and GstD4 mRNAs expressed in the phenol-treated strain [2].

Biological context of GstD7

Since the enzymically active proteins included the gene products of DmGSTD3 and DmGSTD7 which were previously deemed to be pseudogenes, we investigated them further and determined that both genes are transcribed in Drosophila [1].
