CYTOCHROME P450 CYP1A2 ISOZYME MICROSOMES HUMAN RECOMBINANT FROM BACULOVIRUS INFECTECTED INSECT CELLS WITH P450 REDUCTASE (C005B-104144)

Application

Human cytochrome P450 has been used in a study to investigate non-viral environmental risk factors for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Human cytochrome P450 has also been used in a study to investigate the dynamics and hydration of the active sites of mammalian cytochromes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytochrome P450 enzymes are heme containing monooxygenases which are found primarily in the mammalian liver. They catalyze the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. This metabolism is the initial step in the biotransformation and elimination of a wide variety of drugs and environmental pollutants from the body. This product has a molecular mass of approximately 58 kDa. Amiodarone, furafylline, and cimetidine are inhibitors, whereas tobacco, insulin, and omeprazole are inducers of the enzyme. The isozyme CYP1A2 is a major pathway for the 6-hydroxylation of melatonin in vivo. This isozyme also catalyzes the 5-hydroxylation of thiabendazole.

Cytochrome P450 is a heterogeneous family of isozymes whose primary function is to oxidize small molecules, both as a function of intermediary metabolism (e.g., fatty acids) and to detoxify exogenous compounds (drugs or toxins). Some isoforms have narrow substrate specificity, while others are promiscuous.
