摘要: Two members of the canine cytochrome P4502C subfamily [CYP2C21 and CYP2C41 (sequence has been submitted to Genbank with accession number AF016248)] were cloned from three beagle liver cDNA libraries. The two CYP2C cDNAs exhibited 70% nucleotide amino acid identity as well 74-83% 67-76% human CYP2Cs. Canine is more homologous CYP2Cs than CYP2C21. a slightly lower (66-77%) rat P450CYPs, 2C11 2C12. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-based restriction enzyme tests for CYP2C21 2C41 mRNAs polymerase genomic DNA developed. was present in livers all dogs tested (N = 9), but only 1 9 (11%). Genomic found that gene coding also 25), which 15 beagles 10 mixed breeds. In contrast, 16% (4 out 25) dogs. An even distribution between sexes This unique polymorphism may be source variability metabolic clearance xenobiotics are metabolized by P450 2C enzymes.
