Description

CYP3A5 is a gene responsible for encoding a cytochrome P450 enzyme, a crucial protein involved in drug metabolism. It primarily functions in the liver and intestines, breaking down various medications and other substances. CYP3A5 exhibits significant variability in its expression, influenced by genetic factors and environmental exposures. This variability plays a vital role in determining individual responses to medications, influencing drug efficacy and adverse effects.
