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}.
