Gene Name CYP2A6
Uniprot ID CP2A6_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:1548
Protein Family Cytochrome P450 family
Protein Function
Exhibits a high coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity. Can act in the hydroxylation of the anti-cancer drugs cyclophosphamide and ifosphamide. Competent in the metabolic activation of aflatoxin B1. Constitutes the major nicotine C-oxidase. Acts as a 1,4-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase. Possesses low phenacetin O-deethylation activity.

Gene Name CYP2E1
Uniprot ID CP2E1_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:1571
Protein Family Cytochrome P450 family
Protein Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of fatty acids (PubMed:10553002, PubMed:18577768). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:10553002, PubMed:18577768). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Hydroxylates fatty acids specifically at the omega-1 position displaying the highest catalytic activity for saturated fatty acids (PubMed:10553002, PubMed:18577768). May be involved in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics (Probable).

  • Increased metabolism of Methoxyflurane caused by Rifampicin mediated induction of CYP450 enzyme

Recommended Action
      Management Concomitant use of methoxyflurane with CYP450 2E1 and/or 2A6 inducers should generally be avoided.
