DESCRIPTION


The use of adequately active and stable intestine subcellular fractions is highly recommended in determining a more complete analysis of first-pass metabolism of ingested xenobiotics. Consequences of intestinal biotransformation include toxification by bioactivation and detoxification by aiding in excretion. The majority of metabolic enzymes, including cytochrome P450 enzymes and UGT enzymes, are contained in the mature enterocytes of the villus tips. The submucosa, muscularis and serosa yield low microsome quantities and are not used in the preparation of XenoTech's intestine subcellular fractions.  Cross-sectional view of intestine.

Our unique processing method allows for optimal P450 expression, which yields activities higher than most commercially available intestine subcellular fractions. Microsomes should be thawed in a room temperature water bath and unused portions returned to an ultra-low freezer (–70°C or colder) as soon as possible.
