Cytochrome P450 Reagents

 

Cytochrome P450 enzymes are a superfamily of more than 160 known members that play a major role in the metabolism of numerous physiological substrates, as well as, a wide array of xenobiotics including drugs, chemical carcinogens, insecticides, petroleum products, and other environmental pollutants. Oxidative metabolism catalyzed by cytochrome P450s can result in detoxification. In some instances it results in metabolic activation of a chemical to cytotoxic and/or
carcinogenic forms. Although the liver is the primary organ for drug metabolism, extrahepatic tissues such as lung, kidney and intestine, also play an important role for detoxification or biotransformation of xenobiotics. Each tissue has a unique P450 isozyme distribution and regulatory mechanism for cytochrome P450 gene (CYP) expression. The expression of CYPs is increased by several xenobiotics, as well as, endogenous compounds such as fatty acids and steroids. Expression is altered during development and by pathophysiological conditions such as starvation and diabetes. P450 protein levels may be regulated by various mechanisms including; stabilization by substrate binding, increased translational efficiency of messages, stabilization of mRNA, enhanced processing of the precursor mRNA, and transcriptional activation of CYP gene. CYP regulatory mechanisms are diverse and unpredictable. In many cases, even evolutionary closely related CYPs have been found to be regulated differently under certain conditions.We have generated antibodies against all of the major human P450 isoforms. We are also pleased to offer several purified recombinant human cytochrome P450s, as well as Xenosomes¢â, a convenient and economical microsomal format containing NADPH-P450 oxidoreductase. Additional reagents, including cDNA probes arealso available for studies on the regulation of CYP expression. Our product line is organized according to the CYP family tree for your convenience

Glutathione S Transferase Reagents

The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a superfamily of inducible enzymes with overlapping substrate specificities which catalyze the conjugation of reduced glutathione to various electrophilic substrates. GSTs are abundant in mammalian livers, and are important in detoxification of many different xenobiotics in mammals. In addition to conjugating activity, the GSTs bind a number of hydrophobic compounds such as heme, bilirubin, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dexamethasone. The GSTs have been implicated in numerous aspects of carcinogenesis and anticarcinogenesis. Rat liver GST isozymes are inducible to varying degrees by a number of xenobiotics, including phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene, BHA, diphenols, thiocarbamates, 1,2-dithiol-3-thiones, isothiocyanates, cinnamates, and coumarins. Elevated GST levels have been detected in colonic, hepatic, prostate, lung, breast, ovarian, gastric and renal cell carcinomas, as well as melanoma. GST has been identified in the human sera of cancer patients, and levels of this isozyme correlated to the progression of the disease.

Epoxide Hydrolase

Epoxide hydrolases are involved in the metabolism of a wide range of drugs and other xenobiotics. These enzymes catalyze the addition of water to an epoxide to form the vicinal dihydrodiol, which typically has the trans- configuration. The enzymatic hydration is essentially irreversible and produces metabolites of lower reactivity that can be readily conjugated and excreted. (Seidegard, Ekstrom, Environ. Health Perspectives. 105:791-799, 1997.)

Anti-Rabbit Epoxide Hydrolase, Goat Polyclonal This antibody, prepared against purified rabbit epoxide hydrolase, is intended for characterization of epoxide hydrolase on Western blots. It also cross-reacts with rat epoxide hydrolase. One vial contains sufficient antibody to perform at least 10 blots following electrophoresis on mini-gels.
