Induction of Cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) in Fish A Biomarker for Environmental Pollution

  • Protocol
Cytochrome P450 Protocols

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology™ ((MIMB,volume 107))

Abstract

Inducible proteins are attractive candidates for biomarkers-i.e. biological responses that reflect exposure to, or effects of, environmental pollutants in an organism (1). Blomarkers are increasingly regarded as powerful and informative tools in ecotoxicology and environmental management (1).
