A cytochrome P450 G subfamily member, CYP4G35, is highly expressed in antennae and modulates olfactory response in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes Open
The cytochrome P450 enzymes of the CYP4G subfamily are some of the most enigmatic insect P450s. The dipterans with sequenced genomes have two CYP4G paralogs. In Drosophila melanogaster , CYP4G1 is highly expressed in the oenocytes and cata…
