Multiple Forms of Rabbit Cytochrome P450: Comparison of Chemical Physical, Immunological and Biocatalytic Properties

  • Chapter
Molecular Aspects of Monooxygenases and Bioactivation of Toxic Compounds

Abstract

The cytochrome P450 system of the rabbit is one of the most highly characterized of any species. The majority of the P450s characterized in the rabbit contribute to the metabolism of foreign compounds, where the multiple forms of P450 provide both functional diversity as well as redundancy of function. In addition, a variety of factors regulate the expression of the individual forms of P450. These can be ontogenetic factors leading to differential expression with age and tissue or environmental factors which induce specific P450s.
