Abstract:Cytochrome P450 enzyme family plays significant roles in carcinogenesis and xenobiotic detoxification. CYP1A1 is the P450 family 1 enzyme preferably expressed extrahepatically and participates extensively in monooxygenase activity which can either change the substrate to normal or carcinogenic metabolites, having the ability to initiate oncogenesis in lung and breast. Variegated structural properties evident in the prosites of available Cytochrome P450 (CYP) structures show versatility among CYP catalyzed reac… Show more
