Expression of cytochrome P450 2A6 in Escherichia coli: purification, spectral and catalytic characterization, and preparation of polyclonal antibodies.

Abstract excerpt

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 is the principal human enzyme catalyzing coumarin 7-hydroxylation and is known to be involved in the metabolism of halothane, nicotine, and metabolic activation of butadiene and nitrosamines. In this paper expression of CYP2A6 in Escherichia coli is reported. In order to achieve expression, the N-terminus of protein was modified by PCR mutagenesis. The N-terminal variant with only a...
