CYP2B1/2B2 Antibody (b/e4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects CYP2B1/2B2 in mouse and rat samples through western blotting (WB). CYP2B1 and CYP2B2 are crucial members of the cytochrome P450 (CYP2) superfamily, which plays a significant role in the metabolism of various endogenous and exogenous compounds, including therapeutic agents and fatty acids. These enzymes are primarily located in the liver, where they facilitate the oxidation of substances, thereby influencing drug metabolism and detoxification processes. The liver′s central role in drug metabolism makes CYP2B1 and CYP2B2′s cellular location particularly significant, as their activity can substantially affect the pharmacokinetics of numerous medications. CYP2B1 converts ifosfamide into active cytotoxic metabolites, while CYP2B2 is involved in phenobarbital induction, highlighting their roles in both therapeutic efficacy and potential drug interactions. Anti-CYP2B1/2B2 antibody (b/e4) serves as an essential tool for researchers studying drug metabolism, liver function, and biochemical pathways involving these critical enzymes.
