Gene:
cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily X, polypeptide 1
Gene ID:
204857
Symbol:
CYP4X1
Species:
1000
Description:
This 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. The expression pattern of a similar rat protein suggests that this protein may be involved in neurovascular function in the brain.
