Polymorphisms in Human Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase [PDF]
Molecular Pharmacology, 2003 Human soluble epoxide hydrolase (hsEH) metabolizes a variety of epoxides to the corresponding vicinal diols. Arachidonic and linoleic acid epoxides are thought to be endogenous substrates for hsEH. Enzyme activity in humans shows high interindividual variation (e.g., 500-fold in liver) suggesting the existence of regulatory and/or structural gene ...

Enantioselectivities of yeast epoxide hydrolases for 1,2-epoxides
Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 1999Abstract Kinetic resolution of homologous series of unbranched 1,2-epoxyalkanes (C-4 to C-12), 1,2-epoxyalkenes (C-4, C-6 and C-8), a 2,2-dialkylsubstituted epoxide (2-methyl-1,2-epoxyheptane) and a benzyloxy-substituted epoxide (benzyl glycidyl ether) was investigated using resting cells of 10 different yeast strains.

Rat Cytosolic Epoxide Hydrolase
1986Rat liver microsomal and cytosolic epoxide hydrolase may be distinguished through differences in substrate specificity: styrene 7,8-oxide is preferentially hydrolyzed by the microsomal form, while trans-stilbene oxide is the preferred substrate for cytosolic epoxide hydrolase. Large interindividual differences in the specific activity of Sprague-Dawley

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1996
We describe the first cDNA sequence encoding a juvenile hormone-specific epoxide hydrolase from an insect. A full-length cDNA clone revealed a 462-amino-acid open reading frame encoding an amino acid sequence with 44% identity and 64% similarity to human microsomal epoxide hydrolase. All residues in the catalytic triad (residues Asp227-His428-Asp350 in

Epoxide hydrolase activity of Streptomyces strains
Journal of Biotechnology, 2000The discovery of epoxide hydrolases within a Streptomyces sp. strain collection is described. Screening was performed in 96 well microtiter plates using a modified 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine assay with styrene oxide, 1,2-epoxy-hexane or 3-phenyl ethylglycidate (3-PEG) as substrates. Out of 120 strains investigated, S. antibioticus Tü4, S.

Epoxide hydrolase and hepatocarcinogenesis
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1981is commonly understood as a nonsynergistic or non-potentiating combination, whereas 'overadditive' is taken as synergism, also expressed as potentiation. The dose-additive method·'·" Table a) by differentiation of additive from overadditive effects allows conclusions about the mechanism of action of A and B.

Spectrophotometric Substrates for Cytosolic Epoxide Hydrolase
Analytical Biochemistry, 1994In this study, we demonstrate the utility of a broad class of spectrophotometric substrates for the assay of cytosolic epoxide hydrolase purified from murine liver. These substrates, epoxy esters or carbonates, cyclize spontaneously upon or during hydrolysis of the epoxide functionality.

Epoxide Hydrolase in Human Fetal Liver
Pharmacology, 1983Epoxide hydrolase activity towards styrene oxide was measured in the microsomal fraction of 20 human fetal livers. The enzymatic activity was 5.60 +/- 0.52 nmol/min/mg (mean +/- SE) which is about 40% of the previously reported value in human adult liver microsomes. No relation between enzymatic activity and fetal age was observed.

Soluble epoxide hydrolase and ischemic cardiomyopathy
International Journal of Cardiology, 2012The development of cardiovascular disease has been linked to lowered levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) in the cardiovascular system. Ischemic cardiomyopathy is caused by atherosclerotic lesions in multi-coronary arteries especially diffusive lesions, which can lead to severe myocardial dysfunction, heart enlargement, heart failure, or ...
