Gene: CYP4A11

Alternate names for this Gene: CP4Y|CYP4A2|CYP4AII|CYPIVA11

Gene 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 hydroxylates medium-chain fatty acids such as laurate and myristate. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p33

Description of this Gene: cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily A member 11

Type of Gene: protein-coding
