Abstract excerpt
Human carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) metabolizes endogenous and xenobiotic substrates such as the fever mediator, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and the anticancer anthracycline drug, daunorubicin. We screened 33 CBR1 full-length cDNA samples from white and black liver donors and performed database analyses to identify genetic determinants of CBR1 activity. We pinpointed a single nucleotide polymorphism on CBR1 (CBR1...
