The enzyme has a molecular mass of approximately 56 kDa. It functions in the oxidation of various endogenous and exogenous compounds including the metabolism of toxins such as nicotine. CYP2A13 is prominently expressed in tissue such as the respiratory tract especially in the nasal mucosa and lung tissues as well as in the liver to a lesser extent.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP2A13 influences the metabolic processing of xenobiotics. It belongs to the cytochrome P450 superfamily which is a group of enzymes essential for drug metabolism and the synthesis of cholesterol steroids and other lipids. While it does not form a complex itself it actively contributes to bioactivation processes that convert chemical compounds into reactive intermediates. This role is important for how the body handles and processes potential toxins or therapeutic drugs.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe enzyme plays a notable role in the metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450. This pathway is key in converting lipophilic compounds into hydrophilic products for easier excretion. CYP2A13 is also involved in the metabolism of nicotine making it a part of the broader nicotine degradation pathway. It shares functional similarities with other cytochrome P450 family members like CYP2A6 which also participates in nicotine metabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP2A13 has been linked to respiratory-related conditions such as lung cancer due to its involvement in the metabolic activation of tobacco-specific nitrosamines. The enzyme converts these compounds into DNA-damaging agents increasing cancer risk. Furthermore its expression in the lung tissue suggests a potential impact on other respiratory diseases. CYP2A13's metabolic activities overlap with those of CYP1A2 another enzyme related to carcinogen activation highlighting their combined relevance in tobacco-related cancers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848632160425,"sku":"ab223785","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab223785","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
