摘要:
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) is one of the most important enzymes in human nicotine metabolism. Genetic polymorphisms in the CYP2A6 gene causes important interindividual variability in CYP2A6 activity and this variation can explain some of the interindividual variability in nicotine metabolism previously reported. Here I summarise the current knowledge about the CYP2A6 polymorphism, and also discuss the potential importance of this polymorphism for differences in smoking behaviour.
