Background
cytochrome P450 family 26 subfamily B member 1(CYP26B1) Homo sapiens 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],
Function
cofactor:Heme group.,enzyme regulation:Has a preferred activity toward the following substrates: all-trans-RA > 9-cis-RA > 13-cis-RA.,function:Plays a key role in retinoic acid metabolism. Involved in the specific inactivation of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA). Responsible for generation of several hydroxylated forms of RA, including 4-OH-RA, 4-oxo-RA, and 18-OH-RA.,induction:By retinoic acid.,similarity:Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in brain, particularly in the cerebellum and pons.,
