Anti-CYP2W1 Antibody Picoband®

CYP2W1 (cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily W, polypeptide 1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYP2W1 gene. This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human CYP2W1, which shares 74% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse CYP2W1.
