title: Purification and characterization of a single form of cytochrome P-450 from the spiny crab Maja crispata.
abstract: Microsomes from Maja crispata hepatopancreas contain all the components of the functional mixed function oxidase system: cytochrome P-450 (0.47 nmol/mg), the activity of NADPH cytochrome c reductase (12.25 nmol/mg/min) and benzo[a]pyrene monooxygenase activity (6.58 pmol/mg/min). Solubilization of hepatopancreas microsomes with sodium cholate, and affinity chromatography on omega-amino-n-octyl Sepharose 4B, gave a single cytochrome P-450 peak eluting with 0.2% Emulgen 913. DEAE cellulose chromatography of this cytochrome peak gave rise to a single haemoprotein peak, with apparent monomer Mr = 53,500, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
