Cyp2e1

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Cytochrome P450 2E1 (abbreviated CYP2E1, EC 1.14.14.1), a member of the cytochrome P450 mixed-function oxidase system, is involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics in the body. In humans, the CYP2E1 enzyme is encoded by the CYP2E1 gene.While it is involved in the oxidative metabolism of a small range of substrates (mostly small polar molecules), there are many important drug interactions mediated by CYP2E1.
