Product Background
Antigen Description
CYP1A2 is 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. CYP1A2 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and its expression is induced by some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), some of which are found in cigarette smoke. The enzyme"s endogenous substrate is unknown; however, it is able to metabolize some PAHs to carcinogenic intermediates. Other xenobiotic substrates for this enzyme include caffeine, aflatoxin B1, and acetaminophen. The transcript from this gene contains four Alu sequences flanked by direct repeats in the 3" untranslated region.
Pathway
Aromatic amines can be N-hydroxylated or N-dealkylated by CYP1A2, organism-specific biosystem; Biological oxidations, organism-specific biosystem; Caffeine metabolism, organism-specific biosystem; Caffeine metabolism, conserved biosystem; Cytochrome P450
