title: Interspecies homology of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450. A form of dog cytochrome P-450 (P-450-D1) crossreactive with antibodies to rat P-450-male.
abstract: P-450-male is a male specific form of cytochrome P-450 in rat liver microsomes. Cytochrome P-450 crossreactive with anti-P-450-male antibodies was purified to an electrophoretical homogeneity from liver microsomes of male beagle dogs. The specific content of the purified cytochrome P-450 (P-450-D1) was 16.9 nmol/mg protein. The apparent monomeric molecular weight of P-450-D1 was 48,000, which was smaller than P-450-male (51,000). P-450-D1 showed similarities in spectral properties, N-terminal amino acid sequence, and catalytic activities with some limited exceptions: P-450-D1 did not catalyze 2 alpha-hydroxylation of testosterone and progesterone and catalyzed 21-hydroxylation of progesterone. Based on these results, we propose that P-450-D1 is a form of cytochrome P-450 in the same gene subfamily as P-450-male.
