Introduction | Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is an enzyme involved in the phase I metabolism of exogenous small molecules (xenobiotics). CYP3A4 is a ubiquitously-expressed monooxygenase that uses one molecule of dioxygen and a molecule of NAD(P)H to transfer a hydroxyl group onto a substrate and create a water molecule. CYP3A4 also has epoxygenase activity; it can create three-membered rings (where one atom is oxygen) on arachidonic acid, which leads to the proliferation of certain cancers. There are many known substrates for CYP3A4, including cyclosporin, codeine, simvastatin, erythromycin, and caffeine. Bergamottin is a well-known CYP3A4 inhibitor; this chemical is found in grapefruit juice and is one of the main reasons why the fruit has such a large number of contraindications. There are no diseases associated with CYP3A4 mutations, however the metabolism of various drugs can be greatly affected by different polymorphisms. |
Target | Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) |
Reactivity | Human |
Tested Applications | ELISA |
Recommended dilutions | Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
Storage | Shipped at 4 °C. Upon receipt, store the kit according to the storage instruction in the kit's manual. |
Validity | The validity for this kit is at least 6 months. Up to 12 months validity can be provided on request. |
Stability | The stability of the kit is determined by the rate of activity loss. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. To minimize performance fluctuations, operation procedures and lab conditions should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same user throughout. |

Note | This product is for research use only. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our ELISA and CLIA kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein. |
