We have isolated a cDNA (named P450 A) which is a variant of CYP2E1 presenting some differences in the 3' non coding region. Two substitutions and only one polyadenylation signal were detected on P450 A compared to CYP2E1 where there are two. With the aim of studying the frequency of utilization of these polyadenylation signals, probe A and probe J specific for P450 A and CYP2E1, respectively, were hybridized on human hepatic and extra-hepatic cDNA samples. Results indicated that in all tissues tested only P450 A using the first polyadenylation signal was detected. The CYP2E1 cDNA isolated by Song et al could be representative of a transcript either rarely represented among the Caucasian population, or expressed in a particular individual or ethnic population, or rapidly degraded.

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.
