1 These observations suggested the potential involvement of the male-specific cytochrome P-450 UT-A and the P-450 PCN-E in the metabolism of this pyrrolizidine alkaloid. PYRROLIZIDINE cytochrome P450, subfamily 2, polypeptide 11 Rattus norvegicus
2 Reconstituted rat P-450 UT-A exhibited a high rate of N-oxidation (15 nmol min-1 nmol P-450-1) which is almost 3-fold higher than the turnover number observed with male rat liver microsomes. Nitrogen cytochrome P450, subfamily 2, polypeptide 11 Rattus norvegicus
3 In contrast, rat P-450 UT-A displayed a much lower activity toward necine pyrrole [+/-)-6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine, DHP) formation (1.0 nmol min-1 nmol P-450-1). necine pyrrole [+/-)-6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5h-pyrrolizine cytochrome P450, subfamily 2, polypeptide 11 Rattus norvegicus
4 Rabbit antibody to rat P-450 UT-A inhibited the senecionine-N-oxidation activity of untreated male rat liver microsomes by 60%, with lesser inhibition of DHP production. senecionine cytochrome P450, subfamily 2, polypeptide 11 Rattus norvegicus
5 Rabbit antibody to rat P-450 UT-A inhibited the senecionine-N-oxidation activity of untreated male rat liver microsomes by 60%, with lesser inhibition of DHP production. Nitrogen cytochrome P450, subfamily 2, polypeptide 11 Rattus norvegicus
