Gene of the migratory locust involved in synthesizing phenylacetonitrile
CYP305M2 (formerly called LM16181) is a
cytochrome P450 enzyme found in
migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) that catalyzes the key step of
biosynthesis of
phenylacetonitrile (PAN).
[1]
[2] PAN in turn is used as an
aposematic chemical defense against predators.
