CYP2G1P
Description
The CYP2G1P (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily G member 1, pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 19.
CYP2G1P, also known as cytochrome P450 2G1, is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. These enzymes are involved in the metabolism of a wide variety of compounds, including drugs, steroids, and fatty acids. CYP2G1P is specifically involved in the metabolism of certain drugs and environmental toxins. It is also involved in the biosynthesis of bile acids. CYP2G1P is expressed primarily in the liver, but it is also found in other tissues, such as the gastrointestinal tract, kidney, and brain. The expression of CYP2G1P can be influenced by genetic factors and environmental exposures. For example, exposure to certain drugs or environmental toxins can induce the expression of CYP2G1P, while exposure to other compounds can inhibit its expression. The activity of CYP2G1P can also be affected by genetic polymorphisms, which are variations in the gene that encodes CYP2G1P. These polymorphisms can lead to differences in the metabolism of drugs and environmental toxins. This can have important implications for drug efficacy and toxicity.
CYP2G1P is a cytochrome P450 enzyme, involved in the metabolism of various xenobiotics and endogenous compounds, playing a crucial role in the detoxification process.
CYP2G1P is also known as CYP2G1, CYP2G2P, CYP2GP1.
