CYP26C1, Official Symbol CYP26C1provided by HGNC Official Full Name cytochrome P450 family 26 subfamily C member 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:20577 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000187553 MIM:608428; AllianceGenome:HGNC:20577 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as FFDD4 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 enzyme is involved in the catabolism of all-trans- and 9-cis-retinoic acid, and thus contributes to the regulation of retinoic acid levels in cells and tissues. This gene is adjacent to a related gene on chromosome 10q23.33. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Expression Low expression observed in reference dataset See more Orthologs mouse all
