EPHX2 - epoxide hydrolase 2 Gene
Also Known as CEH; SEH; ABHD20
Species: Homo sapiens
About EPHX2
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues, 12 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 34.1), small intestine (RPKM 33.0) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Epoxide Hydrolase family. The protein, found in both the cytosol and peroxisomes, binds to specific epoxides and converts them to the corresponding dihydrodiols. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
