Abstract excerpt
A CYP2D7 brain-specific protein metabolizing codeine and encoded by an alternate mRNA has recently been described in Indian subjects. To examine its potential presence in other ethnic backgrounds, CYP2D7 and CYP2D6 full-length splice products were analyzed in liver and brain. CYP2D7 splice variant-specific PCR on 13 subjects revealed the previously reported partial intron 6-containing transcript encoding CYP2D7...
