Gene information for CYP26C1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID340665
Official gene symbolCYP26C1
Full namecytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily C, polypeptide 1
Aliases,FLJ45301,
Gene summaryThis gene 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 enzyme is involved in the catabolism of all-trans- and 9-cis-retinoic acid, and thus contributes to the regulation of retinoic acid levels in cells and tissues. This gene is adjacent to a related gene on chromosome 10q23.33. [provided by RefSeq]
