About CYP26B1

Cytogenetic location: 2p13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:72,129,238-72,147,862 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 195 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 9.5), skin (RPKM 9.2) and 21 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Cytochrome P450 superfamily. The Cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of Cholesterol, Steroids and other lipids. The encoded protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, and functions as a critical regulator of all-trans retinoic acid levels by the specific inactivation of all-trans retinoic acid to hydroxylated forms. Mutations in this gene are associated with radiohumeral fusions and other skeletal and craniofacial anomalies, and increased levels of the encoded protein are associated with atherosclerotic lesions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
