Extramicrosomal Metabolism of Insecticides

  • Chapter
Insecticide Biochemistry and Physiology

Abstract

This chapter will be restricted to a discussion of the metabolic reactions of insecticides which are not mediated by either the mixed-function oxidases (Chapter 2) or the conjugation enzymes (Chapter 5). Emphasis will be placed on in vitro systems, particularly those in which the enzymes have been purified. The enzymes that catalyze the extramicrosomal metabolism of insecticides may be associated with specific subcellular fractions or may be more broadly distributed among several; in general, their natural biological functions are not well understood.
