(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID56603
Official gene symbolCYP26B1
Full namecytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily B, polypeptide 1
Aliases,CYP26A2,DKFZp686G0638,MGC129613,P450RAI-2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases that catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and the synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. The enzyme encoded by this gene is involved in the specific inactivation of all-trans-retinoic acid to hydroxylated forms, such as 4-oxo-, 4-OH-, and 18-OH-all-trans-retinoic acid.
