| UniProt functional annotation for P15128 | |||
| UniProt code: P15128. |
| 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. | |
| 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; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51869}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. | |
| Induction: | P450 can be induced to high levels in liver and other tissues by various foreign compounds, including drugs, pesticides, and carcinogens. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
