Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4) is the most abundant cytochrome P450 in adult human liver and small intestine and oxidizes numerous clinically, physiologically, and toxicologically important compounds. The metabolic activity of CYP3A4 in patients varies at least 10-fold in vivo, and CYP3A4 genetic variants are considered one of the causes of individual differences. The cDNAs for the CYP3A4(*)2 (S222P), (*)7 (G56D),...
