Incorporation of exogenous heme into hepatic cytochrome P-450 in vivo. 1979

M A Correia, and G C Farrell, and R Schmid, and P R Ortiz de Montellano, and G S Yost, and B A Mico

Parenteral administration of [3H]heme to allylisopropylacetamide-treated rats resulted in the formation of a radiolabeled allylisopropylacetamide-porphyrin adduct in the liver, which was isolated and purified. Since formation of this adduct requires the heme moiety of a functional cytochrome P-450 species, our findings indicate that exogenously supplied heme had been incorporated into the hepatic microsomal hemoprotein. Moreover, they suggest that exogenously supplied heme readily gains access to an "unassigned" heme pool, which provides heme for cytochrome P-450 formation.

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.
