Rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-448 has been highly purified to a specific content of greater than 20 nmoles/mg of protein. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis showed the presence of a major polypeptide band with a molecular weight of 5l,000 and a faint minor band at 60,000. Purified rabbit cytochrome P-448 differs from cytochrome P-448 purified from rats with respect to its molecular size, its poor reactivity with antibody produced against rat cytochrome P-448, and its relative inactivity for the hydroxylation of several substrates. These results indicate that rabbit cytochrome P-448 and rat cytochrome P-448 are different proteins.
