Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityRH + reduced flavoprotein + O(2) = ROH + oxidized flavoprotein + H(2)O.
CofactorName=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
FunctionCytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics.
InductionP450 can be induced to high levels in liver and other tissues by various foreign compounds, including drugs, pesticides, and carcinogens.
SimilarityBelongs to the cytochrome P450 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
