Presence of cytochrome P450 in the Caribbean corals Siderastrea siderea and Montastraea faveolata
Cytochrome P450 was detected in the animal tissue of the scleractinian corals Siderastrea siderea and Montastraea faveolata collected from a reef site on the west coast of Venezuela. The concentration of P450 in these species (0.4–2.1 nmol mg–1 of microsomal protein) was similar to the levels found...

La concentración de P450 en estas especies (0.4–2.1 nmol mg–1 de proteína microsomal) es similar a los niveles detectados previamente en otros invertebrados marinos, pero superior a los valores reportados para otros organismos del phylum Cnidaria. El mayor contenido de P450 fue encontrado en muestras extraídas durante el periodo reproductivo de S. siderea. Estos resultados confirman la presencia de un citocromo P450 funcional en dos especies de coral.
