NADPH--cytochrome P450 reductase (POR)

POR (Cytochrome P450 Oxidoreductase), also known as Cytochrome P450 Reductase, is a membrane-bound enzyme required for electron transfer to cytochrome P450 in the endoplasmic reticulumof the eukaryotic cell from a FAD- and FMN-containing enzyme NADPH: cytochrome P450 reductase. By Southern blot analysis of DNA isolated from a panel of 8 independent human-rodent somatic cell hybrids, Shephard et al. (1989) determined that cytochrome P450 reductase is encoded by a single gene located on 7pter-q22. By in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes, they refined the localization to 7q11.2. Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase is a flavoprotein that donates electrons to all microsomal P450 enzymes, including the steroidogenic enzymes P450c17 (CYP17A1), P450c21 (CYP21A2), and CYP51A1 (Miller, 1986).\n\nUniProt Number:\nP16435\n\nGene ID:\nPOR\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) and Immunocytochemistry.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
