CYP27A1 - cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily A member 1 Gene
Also Known as CTX; CP27; CYP27
Species: Homo sapiens
About CYP27A1
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 227 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 101.4), small intestine (RPKM 27.6) and 16 other tissues.
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 mitochondrial protein oxidizes Cholesterol intermediates as part of the bile synthesis pathway. Since the conversion of Cholesterol to bile acids is the major route for removing Cholesterol from the body, this protein is important for overall Cholesterol homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
