Gene information for CYP4F2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8529
Official gene symbolCYP4F2
Full namecytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily F, polypeptide 2
Aliases,CPF2,
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 protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. The enzyme starts the process of inactivating and degrading leukotriene B4, a potent mediator of inflammation. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 19. Another member of this family, CYP4F11, is approximately 16 kb away. [provided by RefSeq]
