Abstract excerpt
Interindividual variability in the drug-metabolizing activity of the CYP3A5 enzyme is mainly due to a single nucleotide polymorphism in CYP3A5, leading to low expression in homozygous CYP3A5*3/*3 individuals compared with CYP3A5*1 allele carriers. In the human kidney, expression of CYP3A5 has been implicated in blood pressure regulation and calcineurin inhibitor-associated nephrotoxicity. The effect of the...
