General description

This human, recombinant protein is isolated from insect cells infected with a baculovirus containing the cDNA for human cytochrome P450 reductase. It is purified by affinity chromatography.

Application

Human cytochrome P450 reductase has been used in a study to assess the biocatalytic synthesis and structure elucidation of cyclized metabolites of the deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat (LBH589). Human cytochrome P450 reductase has also been used in a study to investigate the effects of coupled motions on electrons along the human microsomal P450 chains.
The enzyme from sigma has been used in the hypoxic and oxic reductions of the anticancer prodrug, 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-2-[[1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxy]carbonyl]hydrazine (KS119).
NADPH-P450 reductase is a membrane-bound flavoprotein that transfers electrons from NADPH to the various isoforms of cytochrome P450. The ratio of reductase:P450 that is typically used ranges from 0.5-5:1. The enzyme contains one mole each of FAD and FMN per mole of protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytochrome P450 reductase is a membrane bound enzyme required for electron transfer from NADP to cytochrome P450 in microsomes. It can also provide electron transfer to heme oxygenase and cytochrome B5. The cytochrome P450 enzyme system is mainly involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics in the liver. It also participates in the activation of procarcinogens and the metabolism of endogeneous substrates such as steroids.

Unit Definition

One unit will cause the reduction of 1.0 μmole of cytochrome c by NADPH per minute at pH 7.4 at 37 °C.

Supplied in a solution containing 10 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT, 20% (v/v) glycerol

MhuD is an oxygen-dependent heme-degrading enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis with high sequence similarity (∼45%) to Staphylococcus aureus IsdG and IsdI. Spectroscopic and mutagenesis studies indicate that the catalytically active 1:1 heme-MhuD complex has an active site structure similar to those

NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CPR) supplies electrons to various heme proteins including heme oxygenase (HO), which is a key enzyme for heme degradation. Electrons from NADPH flow first to flavin adenine dinucleotide, then to flavin mononucleotide (FMN), and finally to heme

Protein domain motion is often implicated in biological electron transfer, but the general significance of motion is not clear. Motion has been implicated in the transfer of electrons from human cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) to all microsomal cytochrome P450s (CYPs).
