Description:
Recombinant human cytochrome P4501A2 (hCYP1A2) has a broad array of applications ranging from the evaluation of potential pharmaceutical agents to the catalysis of synthetic reactions. Recombinant hCYP1A2 is useful for high throughput screening of drug candidates for possible toxicity, drug-drug interaction and dosage issues. Comparisons of the bacterially expressed human CYP1A2 with human liver microsomes give similar kinetic profiles (1). The supplied hCYP1A2 has a 11 amino acid deletion and an S18V, A19F and I20L changes in the N-terminal membrane anchor region that improves 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 hCYP1A2 activity.

hCYP1A2 Assay Conditions::
hCYP1A2 activity was evaluated by following its conversion of phenacetin to 4-acetamidophenol. The reaction buffer was 50 mM potassium phosphate, (pH 7.5) containing 3.3 mM glucose-6-phosphate, 0.4 units/ml glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 3.3 mM MgCl2, 1.3 mM NADP+ and 200 µM phenacetin. The addition of hCYP1A2 to a final concentration of 40 nM initiated the assay. At specific time points the reaction was quenched by adding acetonitrile (at 10% of the reaction volume). Formation of 4-acetamidophenol was followed by HPLC using a C18 column and a 50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.4) buffer containing 10% acetonitrile under isocratic conditions. Products and reactants were detected by monitoring their absorbance at 254 nm. The amount of product was determined by comparison to a standard of 4-acetamidophenol.
