Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-inducible monooxygenase directed toward the substrate benzo(a)pyrene, i.e., “aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase”, was monitored in cell hybrids formed from mouse RAG cells and several human fibroblasts lines. In RAG cells no aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was detectable; however, these cells exhibited relatively high levels of NADPH cytochrome C (P-450) reductase (EC. 1.6.2.4). In 12 hybrids lines, induced aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase segregated with human chromosome 2. The results indicate that the structural gene of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-inducible monooxygenase or gene(s) involved in the induction of the enzyme is located on human chromosome 2.This publication has 37 references indexed in Scilit:
