Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) is the primary human enzyme involved in nicotine metabolism. The objective of this study was to characterize two nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP2A6(*)24, 594G>C (Val110Leu) and 6458A>T (Asn438Tyr). We determined their haplotype, allele frequencies, effect on CYP2A6 activity in vivo, as well as their stability and ability to metabolize nicotine in vitro....
