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.

Ethanol-, fasting-, and acetone-inducible cytochromes P-450 in rat liver: regulation and characteristics of enzymes belonging to the IIB and IIE gene subfamilies.

TL;DR: The results indicate that effects of ethanol, acetone, and/or starvation on drug and xenobiotic metabolism are caused by the induction of P-450 forms belonging to at least two gene subfamilies.

Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) pharmacogenetics: association of polymorphisms with functional differences in estrogen hydroxylation activity.

TL;DR: In this article, the inherited variants of CYP1B1 differ from wild-type P450 enzymes in estrogen hydroxylase activity in breast cancer risk associated with estrogen-mediated carcinogenicity.

Inactivation of Cytochrome P450 3A4 by Bergamottin, a Component of Grapefruit Juice

TL;DR: Results indicate that BG, the primary furanocoumarin extracted from grapefruit juice, is a mechanism-based inactivator of P450 3A4.

Coniferyl aldehyde 5-hydroxylation and methylation direct syringyl lignin biosynthesis in angiosperms

TL;DR: Cloned cDNAs encoding a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase and a caffeate O-methyltransferase from sweetgum and COMT converted coniferyl aldehyde to sinapyl alde Hyde, suggesting a CAld5H/COMT-mediated pathway from guaiacyl to syringyl monolignol biosynthesis via conifldehyde that contrasts with the generally accepted route to Sinapate via ferulate.

Identification of the cytochrome P-450 induced by macrolide antibiotics in rat liver as the glucocorticoid responsive cytochrome P-450p

TL;DR: It is concluded that, in addition to glucocorticoids, macrolide antibiotics are specific inducers of P-450p.

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

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).
