Many insect cytochrome P450s (CYPs) play critical roles in detoxification of insecticides. The CYP6 family is unique to the class Insecta, and its biochemical function has essentially been associated with the metabolism of xenobiotics. In this study, we sequenced and characterised the full-length cDNAs of five CYP genes from Locusta migratoria, a highly destructive agricultural pest worldwide.
