Gene information for CYP3A43 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID64816
Official gene symbolCYP3A43
Full namecytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 43
Aliases,MGC119315,MGC119316,
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 has a low level of testosterone hydroxylase activity. Although it bears homology to some drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450s, it is unknown whether the enzyme is also involved in xenobiotic metabolism. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 7q21.1. Alternate splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
