Disease relevance of Cyp2a4

 

High impact information on Cyp2a4

 

Biological context of Cyp2a4

 

Associations of Cyp2a4 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of Cyp2a4

  • These data indicate that the Cyp2a-4/5 complex is regulated in a different way in DBA/2 and C57BL/6 mice and that some association exists between the development of liver damage and COH induction [10].
  • It appears, therefore, that HNF-4 activates the hepatic transcription of Cyp2a-4 gene through its direct binding to the regulatory element regardless of the methylation at position -50 [8].
 

Other interactions of Cyp2a4

  • Also in the kidneys the increase in COH activity and in Cyp2a-4/5 mRNA was marked only in the DBA/2 mice [10].
  • In contrast, male mice treated with NP showed increased expression of Cyp2a4, Cyp2b9, and Cyp2b10 [13].
  • Nuclear localization of Stat5b correlates with the repression of Cyp2a4 and expression of Cyp2d9, respectively [14].
  • Transcriptional regulation by HNF-4 of the steroid 15alpha-hydroxylase P450 (Cyp2a-4) gene in mouse liver [8].
  • Developmental action of estrogen receptor-alpha feminizes the growth hormone-Stat5b pathway and expression of Cyp2a4 and Cyp2d9 genes in mouse liver [14].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Cyp2a4

  • Northern blot analysis showed a 21-fold increase in the hepatic Cyp2a-4/5 mRNA in the DBA/2 mice at day 2, whereas no increase occurred in the C57BL/6 mice [10].
  • PCR amplification of a 1 kb region in Cyp2a-4/5-mRNA-derived cDNA, followed by cutting at the diagnostic PstI site, showed that most of the steady-state mRNA consisted of Cyp2a-5, which is also the form most affected by pyrazole [11].
  • Two highly homologous cDNA clones encoding P-450 15 alpha designated type I and type II were identified, and levels of type I and type II mRNA in liver and kidney were determined by differential restriction mapping of double-stranded cDNA prepared from mRNA from these tissues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[15]
  • Castration of male mice lowers kidney levels of P-450 15 alpha but in the liver, P-450 15 alpha levels rise after castration [15].
