Abstract excerpt
Variation in CYP2A6 levels and activity can be attributed to genetic polymorphism and, thus, functional characterization of allelic variants is necessary to define the importance of CYP2A6 polymorphism in humans. The aim of the present study was to investigate the reported alleles CYP2A6*15, CYP2A6*16, CYP2A6*21, and CYP2A6*22, in terms of the functional consequences of their mutations on the enzyme catalytic...
