Abstract excerpt
Human cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) catalyzes the ω-hydroxylation of the side chain of tocopherols (TOH) and tocotrienols (T3), the first step in their catabolism to polar metabolites excreted in urine. CYP4F2, in conjunction with α-TOH transfer protein, results in the conserved phenotype of selective retention of α-TOH. The purpose of this work was to determine the functional consequences of 2 common genetic...
