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.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
