Studies of the expression of the cytochrome P450IA, P450IIB, and P450IIC gene family in extrahepatic and hepatic tissues.

Abstract: We have studied the expression of three P-450 gene subfamilies in hepatic and extrahepatic tissues using the sensitive RNAse A protection assay. Members of the P4501A subfamily, which encodes the major methylcholanthrene-inducible cytochromes P-450, were found to be not expressed in extrahepatic tissues of untreated animals, raising the question whether these P-450 play a role in the metabolism of carcinogens in unexposed individuals. In contrast, members of the P45011B family, some of which encode the major p… Show more

“…A novel CYP, termed CYP2B12, was found not to be expressed in the liver but in the preputial gland (Friedberg et al 1990 , 1992 ) and then discovered to be a keratinocyte-specific 11,12- and 8,9-epoxygenase of arachidonic acid having a high, constitutive expression in the sebaceous glands, being expressed exclusively in a subset of differentiated keratinocytes called sebocytes. Its expression coincides with the morphological appearance of sebaceous glands in the neonatal rat (Keeney et al 1998a , b ).…”
