The Role of Cytochrome P450 in Fish Health and Metabolism: A Vital Enzyme System
Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes are vital enzymes in the metabolic processes of fish, playing a crucial role in the detoxification of xenobiotics and the regulation of endogenous compounds. The biotransformation of pollutants, including pesticides, medicines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which build up in aquatic environments, is facilitated by these enzymes, especially those in the CYP1A, CYP2, and CYP3A families. Immunity of fish and their health, can be negatively impacted by
