abstractText | Two cDNA clones, pHSj31 and pHSj3, coding for CYP2E1 were isolated from a hamster liver cDNA library. The sequence analyses revealed that they encoded the same polypeptide of 493 amino acid residues (M(r) = 56,616) and differed from the length of their 3'-untranslated region. The deduced amino acid sequence of hamster CYP2E1 showed approx. 90% identities with those of the rats and mice, and approx. 80% identities with those of the rabbits, monkeys and humans. The NH2-terminal 35 deduced amino acid sequences of hamster CYP2E1 were completely identical with purified protein, ha P-450j. The Northern blot analysis showed that CYP2E1 was expressed in livers and to lesser extents in kidneys and lungs. |
