ABSTRACT

Abstract Esterases are a major part of insect biochemical research and an important component of insects’ xenobiotic defense systems. This article reviews the biochemistry and genetics of insect esterases, focusing mainly on developments. It is written from a genomics perspective and the bulk of it is organized around the major clades of insect esterases as revealed by the comparative genomic analysis. Some of the historical functional definitions and classifications applied to insect esterases are briefly discussed.
