text	mitochondrial CYP2E1 induces oxidative stress and augments alcohol-mediated cell/tissue injury

basic FUNCTION	involved in monooxygenation of both endogenous and exogenous substrates
	metabolizes several precarcinogens, drugs, and solvents to reactive metabolites
	involved in the metabolic activation of nitrosamines, oxygenation of alcohol, xenobiotics, carcinogens
	generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), toxic molecules implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease, and CYP2E1 inhibition increases extracellular dopamine (DA) in the nervous system
	capable of inducing significant ER protein damage and stress via its catalytic activation of pro-oxidants
	involved in the biotransformation of xenobiotics and endogenous substrates
	having ability to effectively bind and metabolize both small molecule substrates and fatty acids
	major microsomal ethanol metabolizing enzyme interacting with genes, involved in detoxification of reactive oxygen species, such as glutathione-S-transferases M1 (GSTM1) and alcohol intake, gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor gamma2 (GABRG2)
	play a central role in activating and detoxifying many carcinogens and endogenous compounds thought to be involved in the development of cancer

Other morbid association(s)

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function constitutional     --low   significantly decreased mRNA expression in patients with fibrotic and inflammatory lung diseases compared to healthy controls

Susceptibility

to lung adenocarcinoma and to alcoholism to acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) to oral clefts to head and neck cancer to alcoholic cirrhosis

Variant & Polymorphism other	variant 5 increases the risk of ALL
	homozygote genotypes of PstI/RsaI or DraI polymorphism might be associated with an increased risk of head and neck cancer
	combination of variant genotype of CYP2E1 5B with GABRG2, significantly increased the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis
