Descriptor English: Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylases
Descriptor Spanish: Hidrocarburo de Aril Hidroxilasas
Descriptor aril hidrocarburo hidroxilasas
Entry term(s) monooxigenasas microsómicas
monooxigenasas xenobióticas
Scope note: Amplio grupo de monooxigenasas del citocromo P-450 (hemo-tiolato) que actúan conjuntamente con la NAD(P)H-FLAVINA OXIDORREDUCTASA en numerosas oxidaciones de función mixta de compuestos aromáticos. Catalizan la hidroxilación de un amplio espectro de sustratos y son importantes en el metabolismo de esteroides, fármacos y toxinas, como el FENOBARBITAL, carcinógenos e insecticidas.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001189
Scope note: A large group of cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) monooxygenases that complex with NAD(P)H-FLAVIN OXIDOREDUCTASE in numerous mixed-function oxidations of aromatic compounds. They catalyze hydroxylation of a broad spectrum of substrates and are important in the metabolism of steroids, drugs, and toxins such as PHENOBARBITAL, carcinogens, and insecticides.
