Description

cytochrome P450, family 46, subfamily a, polypeptide 1

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable cholesterol 24-hydroxylase activity; heme binding activity; and steroid hydroxylase activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation; steroid metabolic process; and xenobiotic metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of with a negative effect on protein localization to membrane raft. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and postsynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human CYP46A1 (cytochrome P450 family 46 subfamily A member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
