Gene information for CYP4F8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11283
Official gene symbolCYP4F8
Full namecytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily F, polypeptide 8
Aliases,CPF8,CYPIVF8,
Gene summaryThis gene, CYP4F8, encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and functions as a 19-hydroxylase of prostaglandins in seminal vesicles. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 19. Another member of this family, CYP4F3, is approximately 18 kb away. [provided by RefSeq]
