摘要: The cytochromes P450 are a superfamily of hemoproteins that catalyze the metabolism large number xenobiotics and endobiotics. type amount (i.e., animal's phenotype) P450s expressed by animal, primarily in liver, thus determine metabolic response animal to chemical challenge. A majority characterized involved hepatic drug have been identified experimental animals. However, recently at least 12 human drug-metabolizing molecular and/or enzyme level. characterization these has made it possible "phenotype" microsomal samples with respect their relative levels various capabilities. purpose this review is compare contrast related forms rat other species.
