Regional and cellular distribution of CYP2D subfamily members in rat brain
Bibliographic record
Abstract
1. Human CYP2D6 is present in brain, metabolizes many drugs and has been implicated in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases and some cancers. It is still unclear which of the six known rat CYP2D subfamily members is/are homologous to human CYP2D6. 2. In this study, RT-PCR, Southern and Western blotting and immunohistochemical techniques were used to study the distribution of CYP2D subfamily member mRNA and proteins across 10 rat brain regions. CYP2D subfamily mRNA and protein levels were correlated with brain dextromethorphan O-demethylation (DOD), a measure of human CYP2D6 and rat CYP2D1 activities. 3. The data showed a strong relationship between CYP2D1 and CYP2D1-18 with brain DOD activity. In addition, it was shown that CYP2D proteins are present in brain mitochondrial as well as microsomal membranes. CYP2D subfamily member mRNA and proteins varied across brain regions and were highly concentrated in specific cell types. 4. These data strongly suggest that CYP2D1 and not CYP2D5 mediates DOD activity in rat brain, and may be the rat homologue of human CYP2D6. The highly localized nature of CYP2D indicates that in specific neurones enzyme levels may approach hepatic levels and, hence, contribute to local alterations in brain drug metabolism.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
