Gene:
cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily F, polypeptide 11
Gene ID:
196829
Symbol:
CYP4F11
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene, CYP4F11, 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. The specific function of this protein has not been determined. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 19. Another member of this family, CYP4F2, is approximately 16 kb away.
