Identification and analysis of a processed cytochrome P450 pseudogene of disease vector Aedes aegypti

Conclusions A cytochrome P450 pseudogene, CYP4H44P is cloned from Ae. aegypti. The pseudogene is homologous with CYP4H28 alleles and seems to have recently diverged from this group. Isolating this pseudogene is an important step for evaluating its biological role in the mosquito and for the evolutionary analysis of Ae. aegypti CYPs.
