NCBI Summary for CYP2C8
This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and its expression is induced by phenobarbital. The enzyme is known to metabolize many xenobiotics, including the anticonvulsive drug mephenytoin, benzo(a)pyrene, 7-ethyoxycoumarin, and the anti-cancer drug taxol. This gene is located within a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 10q24. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene.

UniProt Comments for CYP2C8
CYP2C8: Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. In the epoxidation of arachidonic acid it generates only 14,15- and 11,12-cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. It is the principal enzyme responsible for the metabolism the anti- cancer drug paclitaxel (taxol). Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Xenobiotic Metabolism - drug metabolism - cytochrome P450; Lipid Metabolism - arachidonic acid; EC 1.14.14.1; Cofactor and Vitamin Metabolism - retinol; Xenobiotic Metabolism - metabolism by cytochrome P450; Lipid Metabolism - linoleic acid; Oxidoreductase
