The larval midgut of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, has high ecdysone 20-monooxygenase (EZOMO) activity, located both in the mitochondria and in the microsomes. The apparent kinetic parameters for E20MO in mitochondria and microsomes were determined. The K , s (for ecdysone) of the rnitochondr
