Function
- may be responsible for the metabolism of many drugs & environmental chemicals that it oxidizes
- conflicting reports on role in metabolism of codeine to morphine[2][3]
RH + reduced flavoprotein + O2 = ROH + oxidized flavoprotein + H2O
Structure
- belongs to the cytochrome P450 family
Compartment
- membrane
- multi-pass membrane protein
- mitochondrion
Expression
- expressed in brain cortex (at protein level)
Polymorphism
- conflicting reports of a rare double polymorphism giving rise to expression of a functional protein[2][4][5]
Notes
could be the product of a pseudogene
