1 The beta-carboline harmine, which induces hypothermia and tremor, is metabolized by CYP2D6 to the non-hypothermic/non-tremorgenic harmol. norharman cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily D member 6 Homo sapiens
2 These findings suggest that human CYP2D6 in the brain is protective against beta-carboline-induced neurotoxicity and that the extensive interindividual variability in CYP2D6 expression in human brain may contribute to variation in susceptibility to certain neurotoxin-associated neurodegenerative disorders. norharman cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily D member 6 Homo sapiens
