MiscellaneousChimeric transcripts, characterized by CYP3A43 exon 1 joined at canonical splice sites to distinct sets of CYP3A4 or CYP3A5 exons, have been detected. All are possibly produced by trans-splicing. CYP3A43-CYP3A4 chimeric transcripts exist in 3 different combinations: CYP3A43 exon 1 joined in frame to CYP3A4 exons 2-13, CYP3A43 exon 1 joined in frame to CYP3A4 exons 4-13 and CYP3A43 exon 1 joined in frame to CYP3A4 exon 7-13. The longest chimeric isoform (CYP3A43 exon 1 joined to CYP3A4 exons 2- 13) exhibits 6-beta-hydroxylase activity, while a shorter isoform (CYP3A43 exon 1 joined to CYP3A4 exons 4-13) does not. CYP3A43- CYP3A5 chimeric transcripts exist in 2 different combinations: CYP3A43 exon 1 joined in frame to CYP3A5 exon 11-13 and CYP3A43 exon 1 joined in frame to CYP3A5 exon 12-13. All chimeric transcripts are expressed at very low levels in the liver (PubMed:11726664). {ECO:0000305|PubMed:11726664}.
PolymorphismAt protein level, three alleles are known: CYP3A43*1, CYP3A43*2 and CYP3A43*3. The sequence shown is that of CYP3A43*1, which is the most frequent allele. The allele CYP3A43*2 is likely to be non-functional.
SimilarityBelongs to the cytochrome P450 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
Tissue SpecificityHighest expression level in prostate. Also expressed in liver, kidney, pancreas, fetal liver and fetal skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11160876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11243885}.
