Abstract
Designer CYP protein enzymes can now be readily constructed by genetic engineering techniques: these include site-directed mutagenesis to place the modified cyp gene in suitable enzyme expression location in particular tissues only. Furthermore, gene therapy could be arranged to augment (or replace activities lost) for example the production of insulin in the Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas by production of the appropriate form of human insulin in the liver.
