Cytosolic epoxide hydrolase in human placenta

Placenta. 1988 Sep-Oct;9(5):559-63. doi: 10.1016/0143-4004(88)90028-8.

Abstract

It has been shown that cytosol from human term placenta contains cytosolic epoxide hydrolase activity. This cytosolic epoxide hydrolase was enriched more than 700-fold by affinity chromatography and appears similar to the enzyme from mouse and human liver in terms of molecular mass (Mr 59,000) and antigenic reactivity.
