Description
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. Chimeric transcripts, characterized by CYP3A43 exon 1 joined at canonical splice sites to distinct sets of CYP3A5 exons, have been detected. All are possibly produced by trans-splicing. The chimeric transcripts exist in 2 different combinations: CYP3A43 exon 1 joined in frame to CYP3A5 exon 11-13 and CYP3A43 exon 1 joined in frame to CYP3A5 exon 12-13. All chimeric transcripts are expressed at very low levels in the liver (PubMed:11726664)
