Cytochrome P450, family 15, also known as CYP15, is an animal cytochrome P450 family found in insect genome,[1] involved in juvenile hormone biosynthesis.[2] The first gene identified in this family is the DpCYP15A1 from the Diploptera punctata (Pacific beetle cockroach), encodes an epoxidaseofmethyl farnesoate, a precursorofjuvenile hormone, alone with its ortholog TcCYP15A1 in Tribolium castaneum (red flour beetle).[3]
