title: Determination of CYP4A11-catalyzed lauric acid 12-hydroxylation by high-performance liquid chromatography with radiometric detection.
abstract: Lauric acid serves as an endogenous substrate for the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP4A11. A reverse-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography method is described for the quantification of 12-hydroxylauric acid formed enzymatically by incubation of 14C-labeled lauric acid with cDNA-expressed CYP4A11 or human liver microsomes. Analytical separation is achieved using a C18 column and a gradient of 30% acetonitrile and 2 mM perchloric acid to 100% methanol, using a detection scintillation counter. This method is applicable to enzymatic studies for determination of lauric acid 12-hydroxylation activity.
