[edit] Title
I think that the title of this article is unfortunate. I believe the most common name of this enzyme is "NADPH:cytochrome P450 reductase". NC-IUBMB page for EC 1.6.2.4] lists a number of synonyms, none of them is simply "P450 oxidoreductase". Also, "P450 oxidoreductase" can be confused with P450 itself becasue most of P450s are oxidoreductases. However, IUBMB-recommended common name and systematic name are also not widely used (for example, I even cannot find "NADPH—hemoprotein reductase" or "NADPH:hemoprotein oxidoreductase" in PubMed). Thus I suggest renaming this article to "NADPH:cytochrome P450 reductase". Metalloid 22:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- "P450 oxidoreductase" is actually a fairly common name for it. If you do a google search for "P450 oxidoreductase", almost every result is about this protein, and not P450 reactions in general. It might not be the most accurate name, but it's the one people are most likely to search for. Kiral 09:09, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
