Abstract excerpt
Among members of the mouse cytochrome P450 2A family, P450 2A5 is the best catalyst of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) oxidation to its 8,9-epoxide (Pelkonen, P., Lang, M., Wild, C. P., Negishi, M., and Juvonen, R. O. (1994) Eur. J. Pharmacol., Environ. Toxicol. Pharmacol. Sect. 292, 67-73). Here we studied the role of amino acid residues 209 and 365 of the P450 2A5 in the metabolism and toxicity of AFB1 using recombinant...
