CYP3A5 Phenotype details

What CYP3A5 Phenotype shows

This result is not measured directly. It is a predicted phenotype, worked out from your CYP3A5 genotype, usually reported as normal, intermediate or poor metabolizer, which reflects whether you have two, one or no working copies of the gene. CYP3A5 helps break down a number of medicines, working alongside CYP3A4, including the transplant drug tacrolimus. People who make the enzyme tend to clear tacrolimus faster, while poor metabolizers, who make little or none, clear it more slowly. Other medicines, diet and health conditions can also affect drug levels. The underlying genotype is lifelong and does not change, and results are applied by a prescriber.
