CYP1A2 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes, which play a crucial role in the metabolism of various substances in the human body. These enzymes are primarily found in the liver and are involved in the oxidative metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds, including drugs, toxins, and carcinogens. CYP1A2 specifically is responsible for the metabolism of approximately 5-10% of clinically used drugs.
