11. The body removes xenobiotics by xenobiotic metabolism. 12. An example of a group of enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism is hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450. 13. Finally, immune response and xenobiotic recognition are some functions that are enriched within these genes. 14. Those so far identified are generally involved in either biotransformation of xenobiotic compounds ( e . g. 15. Sulfotransferase enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. 16. This ensures that the xenobiotic is safely stored, and does not affect the functioning of the plant. 17. CAR is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, and is a key regulator of xenobiotic and metabolism. 18. Nrf2-sMaf heterodimer regulates a battery of cytoprotective genes, such as antioxidant / xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme genes. 19. The MATE proteins in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes function as fundamental transporters of metabolic and xenobiotic organic cations. 20. Xenobiotic -metabolizing enzymes in the olfactory epithelium have been suggested to catalyze inactivation and facilitate elimination of odorants.
