Cytochrome P450 2E1 (abbreviated CYP2E1, EC 1.14.13.n7) is a member of the cytochrome P450 mixed-function oxidase system, which is involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics in the body.

Cytochrome P450 (P450) 2E1 is the major P450 enzyme involved in ethanol metabolism. That role is shared with two other enzymes that oxidize ethanol, alcohol dehydrogenase and catalase.

In this review, we describe the presence of phase I monooxygenase CYP2E1 in regions of the brain. We also explore the conditions where protein, mRNA, and the activity of CYP2E1 are induced. Finally, we describe the relation of CYP2E1 in brain disorders, including the behavioral relations for alcohol consumption via CYP2E1 metabolism. 1.

Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are involved in the metabolism of carcinogens, as well as drugs, steroids, vitamins, and other classes of chemicals. P450s also oxidize ethanol, in particular P450 2E1. P450 2E1 oxidizes ethanol to acetaldehyde and ...

Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) plays a vital role in drug-induced hepatotoxicity and cancers (e.g. lung and bladder cancer), since it is responsible for metabolizing a number of medications and environmental toxins to reactive intermediate metabolites.

Dec 24, 2024 · CYP2E1 (Cytochrome P450 Family 2 Subfamily E Member 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CYP2E1 include Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis and Alcohol Use Disorder. Among its related pathways are Enflurane Pathway, Pharmacokinetics and Oxidation by cytochrome P450.

The book deals with various clinical aspects of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) which is a potent source for oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is critical for pathogenesis of diseases and CYP2E1 is a major contributor for oxidative stress.

Upregulated CYP 2E1 has multiple pathophysiological roles in the heart, including increased oxidative stress and apoptosis as well as energy supply to meet the energy demand of the heart in certain disease states
