Gene: CYP4X1

Alternate names for this Gene: CYPIVX1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes and is located within a cluster of genes belonging to this superfamily on chromosome 1. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. The expression pattern of a similar rat protein suggests that this protein may be involved in neurovascular function in the brain. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p33|1

Description of this Gene: cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily X member 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
