Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP2D6 gene. CYP2D6 is primarily expressed in the liver. It is also highly expressed in areas of the central nervous system, including the substantia nigra.

2008年7月1日 · In this issue, we will discuss CYP2D6?an enzyme that is involved in the metabolism of numerous drugs. CYP2D6 also is involved in the activation of some drugs, so these drugs may have reduced efficacy when patients with inadequate CYP2D6 activity take them.

2024年12月24日 · CYP2D6 (Cytochrome P450 Family 2 Subfamily D Member 6 (Gene/Pseudogene)) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CYP2D6 include Drug Metabolism, Poor, Cyp2d6-Related and Warfarin Sensitivity. Among its related pathways are Clomipramine Pathway, Pharmacokinetics and Oxidation by cytochrome P450.

HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: CYP2D6. Cytogenetic location: 22q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38) : 22:42,126,499-42,130,810 (from NCBI) The hepatic cytochrome P450 system is responsible for the first phase in the metabolism and elimination of numerous endogenous and exogenous molecules and ingested chemicals.

2024年10月7日 · The CYP2D6 gene is located in chromosome 22q13.1. It comprises 9 exons, encoding for 497 amino acid residues . The gene cluster that includes CYP2D6 also contains pseudogenes, i.e., nonfunctional DNA sequences having a strict homology with the reference gene, such as 2D7P and 2D8P. In humans, CYP2D6 remains the only functional gene of the …
