Abstract excerpt
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase is a critical biotransformation enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a broad array of xenobiotic epoxide substrates to more polar diol metabolites. The gene has been shown previously to exhibit polymorphism, including variation in the coding region leading to amino acid substitutions at positions 113 (Y/H) and 139 (H/R). To better evaluate the phenotype associated with the...
