Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) plays important roles in the metabolism of various drugs, including the anti-cancer drug, paclitaxel. We recently identified two novel CYP2C8 alleles (CYP2C8*13 and CYP2C8*14; wild-type, CYP2C8*1A) with non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in a Japanese population. To precisely investigate the effect of amino acid substitutions (CYP2C8*13, Ile223Met; CYP2C8*14, Ala238Pro) on...
