| Protein Function |
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of endocannabinoids and steroids (PubMed:21289075, PubMed:12865317). 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). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide) to 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid ethanolamides (EpETrE-EAs), potentially modulating endocannabinoid system signaling (PubMed:21289075). Hydroxylates steroid hormones, including testosterone at C-16 and estrogens at C-2 (PubMed:21289075, PubMed:12865317). Plays a role in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics, including plant lipids and drugs (PubMed:11695850, PubMed:22909231). Acts as a 1,4-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase (PubMed:11695850).

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | Caution is advised if mifepristone must be used concomitantly with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 2B6, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever mifepristone is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Because mifepristone is eliminated slowly from the body, drug interactions may be observed for a prolonged period following discontinuation. | ||||||||
