Cytochrome P450 2C19 (abbreviated CYP2C19) is an enzyme protein. It is a member of the CYP2C subfamily of the cytochrome P450 mixed-function oxidase system. This subfamily includes enzymes that catalyze metabolism of xenobiotics , including some proton pump inhibitors and antiepileptic drugs.

The CYP2C19 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that is found primarily in liver cells in a cell structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in protein processing and transport.

2013年7月9日 · CYP2C19 is a member of the IIC subfamily of the cytochrome p450 genes, responsible for metabolizing or activating some hormones (such as estrogens) and several commonly prescribed drugs, including anti-epileptics (such as diazepam, phenytoin, and phenobarbitone), anti-depressants (such as amitriptyline and clomipramine), the anti-platelet …

The CYP450 enzyme CYP2C19 is at least partly involved in the metabolism of many drugs, but inhibitors of CYP2C19 will tend to have the greatest effect on drugs for which CYP2C19 is the primary pathway (eg, those with an asterisk in Table 1).

The drug label suggests that a different platelet P2Y12 inhibitor be used in patients identified as CYP2C19 poor metabolizers. The FDA label change does not alter the recommendation from the authors that based on available evidence, the CPIC guideline is …

2023年9月1日 · Among the various enzymes responsible for drug metabolism, CYP2C19 stands out as a pivotal player. This article explores the significant role of CYP2C19 in the body, its involvement in metabolizing specific medications, and the impact of pharmacogenetics on individual drug responses. What does CYP2C19 do in the body?

2024年12月24日 · CYP2C19 (Cytochrome P450 Family 2 Subfamily C Member 19) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CYP2C19 include Drug Metabolism, Poor, Cyp2c19-Related and Major Depressive Disorder. Among its related pathways are Clomipramine Pathway, Pharmacokinetics and Metapathway biotransformation Phase I and II.

The CYP2C19 enzyme helps process (or “metabolize”) several commonly used medications. Specific DNA variants in the CYP2C19 gene can affect how well this enzyme works. People with these variants may process certain medications slower or faster than normal.

The normal version of the gene, written as CYP2C19*1, provides instructions for producing a normally functioning CYP2C19 enzyme. If a person has two copies of the CYP2C19*1 version of the gene in each cell, they are able to convert clopidogrel normally. The two most common CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms associated with

2024年2月13日 · CYP2C19 genotype-guided drug prescribing has been proven in several trials to increase pharmacological effectiveness and safety. For example, CYP2C19 PMs have been observed to have a greater risk of cardiovascular events in patients receiving antiplatelet treatment with clopidogrel following stent installation.
