Abstract:

CYP1B1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450s) family. As a phase I metabolizing enzyme, CYP1B1 is involved in the maintenance of normal structure and physiological function in the human body through catalyzing the metabolism of hormones, fatty acids, vitamins, exogenous chemicals and drugs. It has been found that CYP1B1 gene polymorphism can affect its protein expression and enzyme activity, thus having an impact on the metabolic processes that it catalyzes, especially the changes in the metabolic processes of sex hormones and exogenous substances which are closely related to the occurrence and treatment of glaucoma, various types of cancer and other diseases. Studying on the metabolic pathways involving CYP1B1 and on the influence of its gene polymorphisms will help us understand the role of metabolic pathway changes in the development of related diseases and in the medical treatment, deepen our understanding of diseases such as cancer and glaucoma, and facilitate the detection and assessment of the risk of diseases at the genetic level, so as to achieve early detection and prevention of the diseases, to provide evidence for personalized medicine, thus improving the quality of life and prolonging the survival period. This article reviews the research progress of metabolic pathways involving CYP1B1 and the impact of genetic polymorphisms in recent five years.

Key words: CYP1B1, metabolism, genetic polymorphism, cancer, glaucoma
