This paper performs phylogenomic analyses of the EcKL gene family in 140 insect genomes, revealing its role in steroid hormone metabolism and detoxification, with functional shifts linked to host plant diversity.

This study investigates the function of two ecdysteroid kinase-like genes in Drosophila melanogaster using genetic approaches, finding that they may not directly inactivate ecdysteroids but could have novel roles in development.

This study identifies EcKL genes in Drosophila melanogaster as detoxification enzymes involved in caffeine and kojic acid tolerance through functional validation and genetic analysis.

The paper identifies candidate detoxification genes in Drosophila by integrating evolutionary and transcriptomic data, finding that EcKLs may function in detoxification and that many P450s are potential detoxification candidates.
