Cry2Ab2 protein

The modified cry2Ab2 gene, which is present, for instance, in transgenic cotton event 15985 and MON89034 corn, is a variant of the Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Cry2Ab2 protein, and its coded protein Cry2Ab2 differs from the wild-type Cry2Ab2 of Bt by only one amino acid. The Cry2Ab2 protein confers resistance to some Lepidoptera species such as corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea).
