Constitutive expression of hepatic cytochrome P450 genes
1 Aug 1996
Abstract excerpt
Cytochromes P450 are a superfamily of heme proteins involved in oxidative metabolism of endogenous chemicals such as steroid hormones and human-made xenobiotics including drugs and environmental pollutants. Hundreds of P450s have been demonstrated by cDNA and gene cloning in animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Most of the mammalian xenobiotic-metabolizing P450s, found within the eight subfamilies comprising the...
