Cytochrome P450, family 53, also known as CYP53, is a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase family in fungi related to hydrocarbon assimilation.[1] They are distributed in both Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, could be used as anti-fungal drug target.[2] The first gene identified in this family is the CYP53A1 from Aspergillus niger encoding the Benzoate 4-monooxygenase (bphA).[3]
