About Cyp21a1

Summary

Predicted to enable 17-hydroxyprogesterone 21-hydroxylase activity; heme binding activity; and progesterone 21-hydroxylase activity. Predicted to be involved in progesterone metabolic process and steroid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; lung; metanephros; spleen; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Orthologous to several human genes including CYP21A2 (Cytochrome P450 family 21 subfamily A member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
