What Does EROD Stand For?
EROD stands for Ethoxyresorufin O Deethylase
EROD, or Ethoxyresorufin O Deethylase, is an important enzyme primarily involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and the biotransformation of various compounds in the liver. It is commonly used as a biomarker for assessing the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. EROD activity is frequently measured in environmental toxicology and pharmacology to evaluate the impact of pollutants and drug metabolism in living organisms.
