The gene encoding CYP3A4 is located on chromosome 7 in the human genome<ref name="e">PMID: 1391968</ref> and it has been found that there are significant variants of the protein correlating to race <ref name="f"> PMID: 11714865</ref>. This finding is relevant due to the proteins altered ability to react with substrates such as testosterone <ref name="g">PMID: 11714865</ref>. | The gene encoding CYP3A4 is located on chromosome 7 in the human genome<ref name="e">PMID: 1391968</ref> and it has been found that there are significant variants of the protein correlating to race <ref name="f"> PMID: 11714865</ref>.

The | The <scene name='72/728174/N_to_c_terminus/1'>alpha helices</scene> can be seen colored in rainbow succession from the N to C terminus. The protein pocket, where the reactions are catalyzed, more specifically, the <scene name='72/728174/Heme_binding_site/1'>heme binding site</scene> contains twenty-two residues [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/remediatedSequence.do?structureId=4NY4] but the main interaction is with a Cysteine at position 442, which coordinates with iron.
