CYP6 family

Group of cytochrome P450 enzymes

Cytochrome P450, family 6, also known as CYP6, is a cytochrome P450 family found in Insect genome. CYP6 and CYP9, another insect CYP family, belong to the same clan as mammalian CYP3 and CYP5 families.^[1]

The first two CYP6 subfamilies represented by CYP6A1 and CYP6B1 shared only 32.7% identity,^[2] less than the typical CYP subfamilies, which share at least 40% amino acid identity.^[3]

Many of the enzymes in this family like CYP6G1 (DDT-R) in Drosophila melanogaster^[4] and CYP6B in Helicoverpa armigera^[5] are related to insecticide resistance.
