Component

The CYP2C8*3 variant allele

The CYP2C8*3 variant allele. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it acts on

  1. The CYP2C8*3 allele influenced the pharmacokinetics of R-ibuprofen in a gene-dose manner, with plasma half-life after 400 milligrams of 2.0 hours in CYP2C8*1/*1, 4.2 hours in *1/*3 and 9.0 hours in *3/*3 individuals, alongside significant trends in area under the curve and clearance, and the allele frequency of 0.17 in this Spanish Caucasian population was higher than reported elsewhere and was associated with CYP2C9*2 at 2.4-fold the expected frequency.
