Preparation and application of anti-peptide antibodies for detection of orphan cytochromes P450.

OBJECTIVES: Cytochromes P450 (CYP) are monooxygenases, which metabolize mostly hydrophobic endogenous and exogenous compounds. CYPs without any clear connection to metabolism are called "orphans". Interestingly, these "orphan" CYPs are over-expressed in tumor tissues. Thus, the main aim of the paper is the development of antibodies for .....
