Protein expression of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases and their inducibility by flubendazole in Haemonchus contortus
Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) constitute a large enzyme superfamily involved in endogenous metabolism and xenobiotic biotransformation. In the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus, SDRs may catalyze the carbonyl reduction of a benzimidazole anthelmintic flubendazole (FLU), whose increased reduction is associated with FLU resistance. This study thus investigated the constitutive…
