Metabolises a vast range of xenobiotics, including antidepressants, benzodiazepines, calcium channel blockers, and chemotherapeutic agents [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18473749?dopt=AbstractPlus]. The active site is plastic, with both homotropic and heterotropic cooperativity observed with some substrates [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26002732?dopt=AbstractPlus]. CYP3A4 catalyses the 25‐hydroxylation of http://www.guidetopharmacology.org/GRAC/LigandDisplayForward?ligandId=2767 in liver microsomes [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9931427?dopt=AbstractPlus]. |
CYP3A5 is expressed extrahepatically, including in the small intestine. It has overlapping substrate specificity with CYP3A4 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16430309?dopt=AbstractPlus, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12124305?dopt=AbstractPlus]. |
Fetal form, rarely expressed in adults. Has overlapping substrate specificity with CYP3A4 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16430309?dopt=AbstractPlus, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12124305?dopt=AbstractPlus]. |
Fetal expression only and considered an orphan fCYP [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21737533?dopt=AbstractPlus]. Testosterone may be a substrate [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11160875?dopt=AbstractPlus]. |
