CYP2C8 - cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 8 Gene
Also Known as CPC8; CYPIIC8; CYP2C8DM; MP-12/MP-20
Species: Homo sapiens
About CYP2C8
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 30 orthologues, 15 paralogues and is associated with 59 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward liver (RPKM 350.3).
Summary
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 its expression is induced by phenobarbital. The enzyme is known to metabolize many xenobiotics, including the anticonvulsive drug mephenytoin, benzo(a)pyrene, 7-ethyoxycoumarin, and the anti-cancer drug taxol. This gene is located within a cluster of Cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 10q24. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene.
