DESCRIPTION


Liver microsomes con­tain cytochromes P450, flavin-monooxygenases, carboxyl­esterases, epoxide hydrolase, UDP-glu­cur­ono­syl­transferases and other drug-metabolizing enzymes, and are intended for use in in vitro studies of xenobiotic metabolism.

The S9 fraction is a mixture of microsomes and cytosol. Accordingly, it contains a wide variety of Phase 1 and Phase 2 enzymes including P450 enzymes, flavin-mono­oxygenases, carboxyl­esterases, epoxide hydrolase, UDP-glucuronosyl­transferases, sulfotransferases, methyl­transferases, acetyl­trans­ferases, gluta­thione S‑trans­fer­ases and other drug-metabolizing enzymes.

Liver cytosol contains many xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes including carboxylesterases, soluble epoxide hydrolases, alcohol dehydrogenases, aldehydes oxidases, xanthine oxidases, diamine oxidases, sulfotransferases, glutathione S‑transferases, etc.
