Abstract excerpt
Human cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A is a major P450 enzyme found in the liver and gastrointestinal tract. It plays an important role in the metabolism of a wide variety of drugs, some endogenous steroids and harmful environmental contaminants. It has been shown that CYP3A alleles encoding enzymes with little or no activity are largely created by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the sequences of these genes....
