Term
enzymes and transporter proteins
Definition
responsible for normal metabolism

significant role in drug absorption in the GI tract and portal system (Ff and Fg)
Term
CYP450
Definition
oxidase that converts endogenous and exogenous (drugs) substrates into more excretable molecules

super family of enzymes

in liver, GI, kidney, pancreas

responsible for phase I metabolism of >50% of medications
Term
cyp450 enzyme family includes
Definition
cyp1, cyp2, cyp3
Term
cyp 3a
Definition
primary subfamily enzyme in humans

in liver, GI, kidney, pancreas
Term
primary sites of cyp3a
Definition
liver: 30%
jejunum: 70%
high variable concentrations between people: 10 - 100 fold diff in liver and 30 fold diff in intestine
Term
P-glycoprotein (PGP) transporters
Definition
plasma membrane glycoprotein belonging to an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily

energy dependent drug efflux pump

promotes excretion of medications into bile, GI tract, or urine

limits transport of drugs across BBB
Term
PGP location
Definition
liver, small intestine, kidney, panacrease, brain, spleen, lung, adrenal gland, testes
