Abstract excerpt
P450 2C2 as well as P450 2E1 [Fukuda, T. et al. (1993) J. Biochem. 113, 7-12] catalyzed the hydroxylation of medium chain fatty acids, although the regioselectivity of substrates of the former contrasted with that of the latter. Whereas P450 2E1 hydroxylated C9-C18 fatty acids at the omega-1 posi...
