Genetic Polymorphism and Toxicology—With Emphasis on Cytochrome P450
13 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Individual susceptibility to environmental, chemical, and drug toxicity is to some extent determined by polymorphism in drug-metabolizing enzymes, in particular the cytochromes P450 (CYPs). This polymorphism is in particular translated into risk differences concerning drugs metabolized by the highly polymorphic enzymes CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6, whereas CYP enzymes active in procarcinogen activation are...
