Preparation and Storage

Background: POR/Cytochrome P450 Reductase

NADPH-Cytochrome P450 Reductase (POR, P450R) is an essential component of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system of eukaryotic cells (1). POR is anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane with its catalytic domain residing in the cytosol. POR is a flavoprotein, containing one molecule each of FMN and FAD, which are essential for the transfer of electrons from NADPH to the cytochromes P450 (2). This reduction is necessary for cytochromes P450 to perform each cycle of oxidation. POR is also capable of transferring electrons to cytochrome b₅, heme oxygenase, the fatty acid elongation system, and other proteins. Mutations of POR can result in disordered steroidogenesis and Antley-Bixler syndrome.
