CYP4B1 is highly expressed in rat nasal respiratory mucosa, and to a lesser extent in olfactory mucosa. Examination of high-power photomicrographs suggests that CYP4B1 may be a secreted protein, based on the fact that immunoreactivity appears to be present in the lumens of ducts of Bowman's glands (rather than intracellular localization, as we observed with an antibody recognizing CYP2F4) and in secretory granules in respiratory mucosa. Furthermore, anti-CYP4B1 immunoreactivity is present on the surface of both respiratory and olfactory mucosa. We used SignalP 3.0 analysis to ascertain the likelihood that rat CYP4B1 is a secreted protein. While this analysis does not suggest that rat CYP4B1 is a secreted protein, several other cytochrome P450 enzymes were predicted to be secreted proteins. The observation that multiple human cytochrome P450s appear to be secreted proteins helps to explain the appearance of anti-cytochrome P450 antigens in cases of human autoimmune liver diseases.
