Cytochrome P450, family 197, also known as CYP197, is a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase family.
[1] The first gene identified in this family is the CYP197A1 from Bacillus halodurans.
[2] CYP197 is one of the only three P450 families shared in bacteria and archaea, the other two are CYP147 and CYP109.
[1] Genes in this family are co-present on archaeal plasmids and chromosomes, implying the plasmid-mediated horizontal gene transfer of these genes from bacteria to archaea.
