| 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. |
| Subcellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. |
| Top Pathways | PPAR signaling pathway, Vascular smooth muscle contraction, Inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels, Arachidonic acid metabolism, Fatty acid degradation |
