CYP2D6 is an enzyme from the cytochrome P450 group that is involved in the metabolism of many drugs. It comes in different genetic variants and can therefore affect the way certain medicines work.

genetics

Different variants of the CYP2D6 gene on chromosome 22q13.1 lead to different phenotypes . Depending on the enzyme activity, a distinction is made between:

  • "Slow metabolizer" (" poor ")
  • "Intermediate metabolizers" ( " intermediate ")
  • "Fast metabolizer" (" extensive ")
  • " Ultra- fast metabolizer" (" ultrarapid ")

The "fast metabolizer" is the standard variant, whereas the "ultrafast metabolizer" has several copies of the gene for CYP2D6. On the other hand, in the "intermediate metabolizer" the gene function is limited and is almost completely absent in the slow types.

function

CYP2D6 oxidizes or hydroxylates certain substrates (pharmaceuticals) in the liver and activates ( prodrug ) or deactivates them. The dose of a drug therefore often has to be adjusted.

Examples of interactions

Importance as a diagnostic marker

The presence of antibodies against CYP2D6 is, after viral hepatitis has been ruled out , the characteristic feature of type 2 autoimmune hepatitis . These are also referred to as LKM-1.
