Chromatography on 1.8-diaminooctyl-Sepharose and DEAE-Sephacel resulted in 4 fractions of cytochrome P-450 from liver microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene-induced Wistar rats. All the four fractions differed in terms of their absorption maxima in the CO-reduced state, Mr and catalytic activity. Only one cytochrome fraction (cytochrome P-450 C) possessed a high activity upon benz(a)pyrene hydroxylation. All cytochrome P-450 forms were characterized by a low rate of aminopyrine N-demethylation. Antibodies against cytochrome P-450 C (P-448) (anti-P-448) were raised. Cytochromes of fractions A, B1 and B2 in the Ouchterlony reaction of double immunodiffusion did not give precipitation bands with anti-P-448. Neither of the four cytochrome P-450 forms interacted with the antibodies raised against cytochrome P-450 isolated from liver microsomes of rats induced with phenobarbital. The procedure developed is applicable to the isolation of multiple forms of cytochrome P-450 from liver microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rats. Using rocket immunoelectrophoresis, cytochrome P-450 C possessing a high (as compared to benz(a)pyrene metabolism) activity (18 nmol/min/nmol cytochrome) and a high (60-70%) content in 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat liver microsomes was shown to give a relatively high yield.

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.
