Background of CYP6G1
As an enzyme capable of hydroxylating the 4 and 5 carbons of imidacloprid, it is capable of bestowing a significant protective effect to insects harboring this gene. It has an affinity to 6OH imidacloprid, allowing it to gnerate 4,5 OH imidacloprid [1], which has an ld50 of over 1 microgram vs 57 nanograms for imidacloprid [2]. Used in conjunction with CYP6CM1vQ, (BBa_K1813003) it can be extremely effective in bestowing imidacloprid resistance to an organism.
