Functional polymorphisms of xenobiotics metabolizing enzymes—a research topic
The human genome harbors an impressive number of genes encoding enzymes that primarily metabolize or transport drugs or other xenobiotics (XMEs). Genetic and functional variation in these genes is tremendous and has complex consequences, depending, for example, on whether enzyme structure or expression is affected, or whether the produced metabolite is pharmacologically or toxicologically activ...
متن کاملFunctional Polymorphisms in Xenobiotic Metabolizing Enzymes and Their Impact on the Therapy of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the top cancer among women, and its incidence is increasing worldwide. Although the mortality tends to decrease due to early detection and treatment, there is great variability in the rates of clinical response and survival, which makes breast cancer one of the most appealing targets for pharmacogenomic studies. The recognition that functional CYP2D6 polymorphisms affect tamoxi...
متن کاملInducibility of drug-metabolizing enzymes by xenobiotics in mice with liver-specific knockout of Ctnnb1.
Basal as well as xenobiotic-induced expression of the main enzymes from phase I and phase II of drug metabolism is confined to the perivenous areas of the mammalian liver lobule. Whereas signal transduction pathways that govern xenobiotic-induced expression of these enzymes via ligand-activated transcription factors such as constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) or the aryl hydrocarbon receptor...
متن کاملPolymorphisms of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and susceptibility to cancer.
The variation in individual responses to exogenous agents is exceptionally wide. It is because of this large diversity of responsiveness that risk factors to environmentally induced diseases have been difficult to pinpoint, particularly at low exposure levels. Opportunities now exist for studies of host factors in cancer or other diseases in which an environmental component can be presumed. Man...
متن کاملPolymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP2E1 in Chinese Uygur population
Pharmacogenetics is the genetic basis of pharmacokinetics, genetic testing, and clinical management in diseases. Evaluation about genetic alterations of drug metabolizing enzymes in human genome contributes toward understanding the interindividual and interethnic variability for clinical response to potential toxicants. CYP2E1 gene encodes a drug-metabolizing enzyme that metabolizes mostly smal...
