Facts about Cytochrome P450 1B1.
It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, retinoid and xenobiotics. Preferentially oxidizes 17beta- estradiol to the carcinogenic 4-hydroxy derivative, and many different procarcinogenic chemicals to their activated forms, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
