Abstract：Glucose oxidase (GOX) is widely distributed in kingdoms of animal, plant and microorganism, especially in fungi. Compared with the fungal GOX, the insect GOX did not pay much attention before, but recently was found to play an important role in insect-plant interactions. The characteristics, distribution, physiological function, role in insect-plant interactions, and evolution of insect GOX were reviewed in comparison with fungal GOX, and further research aspects on this topic were discussed.
