Abstract excerpt
Human carbonyl reductase (CBR) activity accounts for a significant fraction of the metabolism of endogenous and xenobiotic carbonyl compounds. It is possible that genetic polymorphisms in CBR1 and CBR3 are key for the wide interindividual variability in the disposition of CBR drug substrates. We pinpointed a single nucleotide polymorphism in CBR3 (CBR3 V244M) that encodes for a V244 to M244 change. Blacks showed...
