cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily e, polypeptide 1

Gene Summary

Enables Hsp70 protein binding activity and Hsp90 protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including response to 3-methylcholanthrene; response to ethanol; and response to ozone. Located in Golgi membrane; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and mitochondrial inner membrane. Used to study alcohol dependence and drug-induced hepatitis. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcohol use disorder; liver disease (multiple); middle cerebral artery infarction; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acoustic neuroma; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); high grade glioma; liver disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human CYP2E1 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]
