Cytochrome P450

คำจำกัดความ

A superfamily of liver enzymes responsible for metabolizing approximately 75% of all drugs. Key isoforms include CYP3A4 (metabolizes ~50% of drugs), CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP1A2. Drugs that inhibit or induce these enzymes can significantly alter the metabolism of other medications.
