TLDR
The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.

Polymorphisms in human CYP2C8 decrease metabolism of the anticancer drug paclitaxel and arachidonic acid.

TL;DR: CYP 2C8*3 is defective in the metabolism of two important CYP2C8 substrates: the anticancer drug paclitaxel and the physiologically important compound arachidonic acid.

Molecular cloning and expression of cyp2j2, a human cytochrome p450 arachidonic acid epoxygenase highly expressed in heart

TL;DR: It is proposed that CYP2J2 is one of the enzymes responsible for epoxidation of endogenous arachidonic acid pools in human heart and that epoxyeicosatrienoic acids may, therefore, play important functional roles in cardiac physiology.

Co-regulation of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 and contribution to hepatic and intestinal midazolam metabolism.

TL;DR: CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genes share a common regulatory pathway for constitutive expression, possibly involving conserved elements in the 5'-flanking region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turnover of constituents of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes of rat hepatocytes.

TL;DR: Both total proteins and total lipids of rough microsomal membranes had the same half-lives as their counterparts from smooth microsome membranes, but the polar and nonpolar components of the lipids had different apparent half-lived, that of fatty acids being much longer than that of the glycerol backbone.

CYP98A3 from Arabidopsis thaliana Is a 3′-Hydroxylase of Phenolic Esters, a Missing Link in the Phenylpropanoid Pathway

TL;DR: It is shown that the gene encoding CYP98A3, which was the best possible P450 candidate for a 3-hydroxylase in the Arabidopsis genome, is highly expressed in inflorescence stems and wounded tissues and catalyzes the synthesis of chlorogenic acid and very likely also the 3-Hydroxylation of lignin monomers.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

The Carbon Monoxide-binding Pigment of Liver Microsomes II. SOLUBILIZATION, PURIFICATION, AND PROPERTIES

TL;DR: The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.

Hepatic Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide-Cytochrome c Reductase: Isolation, Characterization, and Kinetic Studies

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which suggests that this enzyme participates in a microsomal elect,ron transport system which does not include cytochrome c and kinetic evidence has been obtained which allows certain conclusions to be drawn concerning the mechanism of catalysis by this enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsomal triphosphopyridine nucleotide-cytochrome c reductase of liver.

TL;DR: The biological role of reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) and the metabolic pathways of its hydrogen atom and electron appear to be fundamentally different from those of reduced diphosphipyridineucleotide (DPNH).
