Cyp27a1 - cytochrome P450, family 27, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Gene

Also Known as Cyp27; 1300013A03Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 104086

Summary

Predicted to enable HSP70 protein binding activity; heme binding activity; and monooxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in bile acid biosynthetic process; calcitriol biosynthetic process from calciol; and Cholesterol catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within steroid biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; male reproductive gland or organ; metanephros; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. Orthologous to human CYP27A1 (Cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily A member 1).
