Species: Homo sapiens
About CYP51A1
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 53.6), testis (RPKM 45.9) and 25 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 endoplasmic reticulum protein participates in the synthesis of Cholesterol by catalyzing the removal of the 14alpha-methyl group from lanosterol. Homologous genes are found in all three eukaryotic phyla, fungi, Plants, and Animals, suggesting that this is one of the oldest Cytochrome P450 genes. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
