UniProt functional annotation for P00178

UniProt code: P00178.

Organism: Oryctolagus cuniculus (Rabbit).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Lagomorpha; Leporidae; Oryctolagus.
 
Function: Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. In the epoxidation of arachidonic acid it has a unique preference for the 5,6-olefin.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=an organic molecule + O2 + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = an alcohol + H(+) + H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17149, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11964, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:11965, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:30879, ChEBI:CHEBI:57618, ChEBI:CHEBI:58210, ChEBI:CHEBI:142491; EC=1.14.14.1;
Cofactor: Name=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413;
Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
Induction: By phenobarbital.
Polymorphism: Types B0 and B1 are probably allelic variants.
Similarity: Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. {ECO:0000305}.
