Abstract

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP1A) is monooxygenases enzyme playing important roles in
metabolizing (activation and/or inactivation) xenobiotics in the organism which is
obtained by various routes such as ingestion or skin absorption, lung and other
epithelial layers contacting with the surrounding environment. In the aquatic
environment contamination with xenobiotics such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAH), planar polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and dioxins, CYP1A expression in fish
can be evaluated by measuring 7-Ethoxyresorufin O-Deethylase (EROD) activity or
antibody techniques such as Western blotting, Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay
(ELISA) or other immunohistochemistry. Although P450 enzymes mostly found in the
liver, they also play a role in other extra hepatic organs of vertebrates ranging from
fish to mammals. Different expression of P450 enzyme among various organs and
cell types should be concerned in studying the responses of those cells and organs to
toxicants. As the importance described above, CYP1A can be used as the useful
alternative bio-indicator to assess water pollution. In Thailand, there have been few
studies on CYP1A application as a biomarker. Thus, its efficiency in water monitoring
should be further studied.
