Monoclonal antibodies have been successfully isolated which are isozyme-specific for cytochrome P450p (3A1) or P4501 (3A2), two members of the steroid-inducible cytochrome P450 subfamily exhibiting 89% amino acid sequence homology, and these antibodies show less than 5% cross-reaction with 11 other cytochromes P450 (P450a-P450k). A library of 28 purified monoclonal antibodies was established and characterized as to epitope specificity. Appropriate antibodies were selected and utilized to investigate the regulation of expressed cytochrome P450p and P4501 proteins as a function of age, sex, and treatment of rats with various inducing agents. Cytochrome P450p is not detectable in hepatic microsomes from untreated immature or adult male and female rats. Following dexamethasone treatment, expression of cytochrome P450p is observed in all groups with the levels reaching 30-37% of total microsomal cytochrome P450. Administration of other inducers such as pregnenolone 16 alpha-carbonitrile also yield enhanced levels of cytochrome P450p. Measurable amounts of constitutive cytochrome P4501 were detected in hepatic microsomes from immature and adult males as well as immature females but not in adult females. Cytochrome P4501 expression is inducible by dexamethasone in immature rats of both sexes and adult males, although dexamethasone is more effective as an inducer of cytochrome P450p than cytochrome P4501. Hence, not only is cytochrome P4501 protein expressed in immature animals of both sexes, it is also inducible in both sexes. These studies show that constitutive expression and induction of steroid-inducible cytochrome P450s may vary as a function of age.

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.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
