CYP12 family

Cytochrome P450, family 12, also known as CYP12, is a cytochrome P450 family found in insect genome belongs to Mitochondrial clan CYPs, which is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria(IMM).[1] The first gene identified in this family is the CYP12A1 from the Musca domestica (house fly), which is involved in insecticide resistance.[2]

Rabbit gene CYP8B1 was named CYP12 at the beginning of its discovery, because it hydroxylated its sterol substrate on the 12 position.[3] However, CYP12 is a family of insect P450s found in mitochondria, so this gene was renamed to CYP8B1.[4]
