Gene:
cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily A, polypeptide 11
Gene ID:
202884
Symbol:
CYP4A11
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. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and hydroxylates medium-chain fatty acids such as laurate and myristate.
