Abstract excerpt
Prostacyclin synthase (CYP8A1) is an enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of prostacyclin (PGI2) which inhibits platelet activation and exhibits anti-inflammatory effect. The objectives of this study were to identify CYP8A1 genetic variants and characterize functional consequences of CYP8A1 variants. In total, 27 variants including four previously unidentified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were...
