Comprehensive identification of cytochrome p450 isoforms from solubility-based fractionated rat liver microsomes

Drug Metab Lett. 2007 Dec;1(4):281-6. doi: 10.2174/187231207783221394.

Abstract

Cytochrome P450 isoforms from male rat liver microsomes were comprehensively identified using nano liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS). The enrichment of P450, an endomembrane-anchored heme protein, was achieved by solubility-based protein fractionation, and greatly improved the total number of identified P450 isoforms. LC-MS/MS analysis of fractions resulted in the identification of total 36 P450 isoforms. The combination of proteomic analysis and the solubility-based fractionation would provide powerful tool for the expression analysis of the superfamily proteins having great similarities between the amino acids sequences.
