CYTOCHROME P450 ENZYMES AND PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS
The discovery of the importance of cytochrome P450 enzymes in drug metabolism has been very recently.The information about the diversity,specificity and interindividual variation o f cytochrome P450 enzymes is increasing rapidly.

Defective Cytochrome P450-Catalysed Drug Metabolism in Niemann-Pick Type C Disease. [PDF]
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in either the NPC1 or NPC2 gene. NPC is characterised by storage of multiple lipids in the late endosomal/lysosomal compartment, resulting in cellular ...

Regulation of cytochrome P450 mRNA expression in primary porcine hepatocytes by selected secondary plant metabolites from chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) [PDF]
Chicory (Cichorium intybus) has been shown to induce enzymes of pharmacokinetic relevance (cytochrome P450; CYP). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of selected secondary plant metabolites with a global extract of chicory root, on the ...

Cj1411c encodes for a cytochrome P450 involved in Campylobacter jejuni 81-176 pathogenicity. [PDF]
Cytochrome P450s are b-heme-containing enzymes that are able to introduce oxygen atoms into a wide variety of organic substrates. They are extremely widespread in nature having diverse functions at both biochemical and physiological level.

Isolation and characterization of the full-length cDNA encoding a member of a novel cytochrome p450 family (CYP320A1) from the tropical freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
Cytochrome p450s (cyp450s) are a family of structurally related proteins, with diverse functions, including steroid synthesis and breakdown of toxins. This paper reports the full-length sequence of a novel cyp450 gene, the first to be isolated from the ...
