Abstract
The large and diverse P450 (CYP) superfamily encodes enzymes with a wide spectrum of monooxygenase and related activities. Insect P450 enzymes of the CYP4G subfamily are known to catalyze the synthesis of cuticular hydrocarbons that serve multiple functions from desiccation resistance to chemical communication. These functions are essential for survival. In order to understand the evolution of insect CYP4G genes, 368 sequences from 24 insect...
