Ephx1 - epoxide hydrolase 1, microsomal Gene

Predicted to enable cis-stilbene-oxide hydrolase activity; enzyme binding activity; and Epoxide Hydrolase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular aromatic compound metabolic process and response to organic cyclic compound. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricle and choroid plexus; cranial ganglion; integumental system; nose; and salivary gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; anemia (multiple); hematologic Cancer (multiple); respiratory system disease (multiple); and toxic encephalopathy. Orthologous to human EPHX1 (Epoxide Hydrolase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
