Recombinant Human CYP2C8

• Cat.No.: CYP2C8-384H
• Product Overview: Baculovirus-insect cell expressed with supplemental cDNA expressed human reductase and cytochrome b5. The incorporation of cytochrome b5 in these microsomes increases the cytochrome P450 activity.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Insect Cells
• Tag: Non
• Description: This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and its expression is induced by phenobarbital. The enzyme is known to metabolize many xenobiotics, including the anticonvulsive drug mephenytoin, benzo(a)pyrene, 7-ethyoxycoumarin, and the anti-cancer drug taxol. This gene is located within a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 10q24. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene.
