Abstract excerpt
With CYP2E1 in vitro both the first and the second electron of the catalytic cycle can come from cytochrome b(5) via either NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase or NADH-cytochrome b(5) reductase, and the presence of cytochrome b(5) stimulates CYP2E1 turnover both in vitro and in vivo. To determine whether electron input via the NADH-dependent pathway was similarly functional in whole cells and necessary for the...
