Preferred Label : cytochrome P450;
IUPAC definition : Member of a superfamily of heme-containing monooxygenases involved in xenobiotic metabolism,
cholesterol biosynthesis, and steroidogenesis, in eukaryotic organisms found mainly
in the endoplasmic reticulum and inner mitochondrial membrane of cells. ‘P450’ refers
to a feature in the carbon monoxide absorption difference spectrum at 450 nm caused
by the presence of a thiolate in the axial position of the heme opposite to the carbon
monoxide ligand.;
