Description:
Recombinant human cytochrome P450 2D6 (hCYP2D6) has a broad array of applications ranging from the evaluation of potential pharmaceutical agents to the catalysis of synthetic reactions. Recombinant hCYP2D6 is useful for high throughput screening of drug candidates for possible toxicity, drug-drug interaction and dosage issues. Bacterially expressed human CYP2D6 and CYP2D6 purified from human liver have similar kinetic profiles (1,2). The supplied hCYP2D6 has 5 of the first 8 amino acid residues changed in the N-terminal membrane anchor region to improve expression in E. coli but has not been found to alter enzyme activity (2). Human NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase is also present to permit efficient hCYP2D6 activity.

hCYP2D6 Assay Conditions::
hCYP2D6 activity was evaluated by following its conversion of 3-cyano-7-ethoxycoumarin (CEC) to 3-cyano-7-hydroxycoumarin (CHC). The reaction buffer consisted of 50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.5) containing 3.3 mM glucose-6-phosphate, 1 unit/ml glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM NADPH and 50 µM CEC. At time zero hCYP2D6 (60 nM final concentration) was added to reaction buffer prewarmed to 37°C. The reaction was monitored at 37°C using a Perkin-Elmer LS50B fluorimeter using an excitation wavelength of 420 nm (7.5 nm slit width) and an emission wavelength of 490 nm (7.5 nm slit width). The reaction rate was calculated from the linear portion of the progress curve.
