Gene information for EPHX2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2053
Official gene symbolEPHX2
Full nameepoxide hydrolase 2, cytoplasmic
Aliases,CEH,SEH,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the epoxide hydrolase family. The protein, found in both the cytosol and peroxisomes, binds to specific epoxides and converts them to the corresponding dihydrodiols. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized.
