Structural insights from a P450 Carrier Protein complex reveal how specificity is achieved in the P450(BioI) ACP complex.

abstract：:We previously reported that laminar flow activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) in vascular endothelial cells in a ligand-dependent manner that involves phospholipase A2 and cytochrome P450 epoxygenases. In this study, we investigated whether epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), the cataly...
