title: Drug metabolism by the human hepatoma cell, Hep G2.
abstract: The human liver-derived cell line, Hep G2, has aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin o-de-ethylase activities. Partial purification of cytochrome P-450 from Hep G2 cells provided spectral evidence of this hemeprotein in the purified fraction. These results suggest that Hep G2 cells will be useful for the study of cytochrome P-450 and the regulation of mixed function oxidase activities in liver cells of human origin.
