New PharmGKB pathway: Paroxetine

The paroxetine PK pathway is the newest addition to PharmGKB's pathway summaries.

Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used for the treatment of multiple psychiatric disorders including mood, panic, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorders. The pathway diagram depicts candidate genes mediating the transformation of paroxetine into its metabolites. The main enzyme responsible for the metabolism is cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6).
