1. Polyclonal antibodies raised against rabbit liver cytochrome P-450 isozymes form 4 and 6 have been used to probe human liver microsomes for analogous proteins using the Western blot technique. 2. Anti-Form 4 IgG recognized a protein in human liver microsomes from six subjects of identical molecular weight to purified rabbit liver cytochrome P-450 Form 4. 3. The equivalent content of cytochrome P-450 Form 4 in the same microsomes ranged from 1.1 to 9.1 pmol per mg protein. 4. Anti-Form 6 IgG recognized a protein in human liver microsomes from the same six subjects of slightly higher molecular weight than purified rabbit cytochrome P-450 Form 6. 5. The equivalent content of cytochrome P-450 Form 6 in the above microsomes ranged from 1.6 to 3.8 pmol per mg protein. 6. No significant correlations were observed between equivalent cytochrome P-450 Forms 4 and 6 content and 2-acetylaminofluorene N-hydroxylase, aminopyrine N-demethylase, benzyprene and aniline hydroxylase activities in liver microsomes from the six subjects tested.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
