Overview

Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are crucial for drug metabolism. This study investigated the role of cytochrome b5 (Cyb5) in modulating the activity of human CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, major P450 enzymes involved in drug disposition. The findings demonstrate that Cyb5 significantly contributes to CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 activity in vivo, influencing drug metabolism, efficacy, and potential side effects.
