The tissue and subcellular distributions of 14C-2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (PenCDF), one of the most important causal agents of yusho, were studied using rats. More than 60% of the radioactivity given orally was accumulated in the liver after 5 d and this high percentage persisted over a period of 3 weeks. Subcellular fractionation of the liver homogenate showed unusual separation by PenCDF-pretreatment, but the distribution of radioactivity was just parallel to those of cytochrome P-450 content and glucose-6-phosphatase (EC3.1.3.9) activity. Gas chromatographic analysis provided evidence that the extracts from the liver and its subcellular fractionations contained only unchanged PenCDF. Those results strongly suggest that PenCDF has some affinity to endoplasmic reticulum of rat liver.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

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.

D004721 Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH).
