The cytochrome b5 is reduced by house fly cytochrome P450 reductase in a reconstituted system at a high rate (5.5 s-1), and it stimulates heptachlor epoxidation when reconstituted with house fly cytochrome P450 reductase, cytochrome P450 6A1, phospholipid, and detergent.

Both holo- and apo-b5 stimulated CYP6A1 heptachlor epoxidase and steroid hydroxylase activities and influenced the regioselectivity of testosterone hydroxylation.

The present study was under taken to demonstrate the effect of some commonly used insecticides on the activity of cytochrome P450 system including cytochrome b5, aryl hydrocarbon [benzo (a) pyrene] hydroxylase (AHH), N-nirosodimethylamine N-demethylase I [NDMA-dI] and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase as phase I of drug oxidation.
In addition, the activity of glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), and the level of glutathione (GSH) were determined in the liver of male mice after oral administration of sumithion, dursban, chlordane, methoxychlor, heptachlor epoxide, and lindane as single (24h) or as repeated doses for six consecutive days.

The CYP6A2 protein produced in this system metabolized aldrin and heptachlor to their epoxides and metabolized the insecticide diazinon by desulfuration to diazoxon and by oxidative ester cleavage to 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine.
Metabolism in lysates of cells infected with recombinant baculovirus was greatly enhanced by the addition of purified housefly NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase and cytochrome b5.
