Reacts with Cytochrome P450 Enzyme CYP1A2 in hepatic microsomal fractions ofhuman and rat. Recognises a 54 kDa protein by Western Blot. No crossreactivity with other cytochrome P450 enzymes.
Immunogen
CYP1 A2 antibody was raised in rabbit using a synthetic peptide as the immunogen.
The cytochrome P450 superfamily (officially abbreviated as CYP) is a large and diverse group of enzymes. The function of most CYP enzymes is to catalyze the oxidation of organic substances. The substrates of CYP enzymes include metabolic intermediates such as lipids and steroidal hormones, as well as xenobiotic substances such as drugs and other toxic chemicals. Cytochrome P450 1A2 (abbreviated CYP1A2), is involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics in the body. In humans, the CYP1A2 enzyme is encoded by the CYP1A2 gene. Expression of CYP1A2 appears to be induced by various dietary constituents.
