CYP4X1

CYP4X1 (cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily X, polypeptide 1) is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the CYP4X1 is_associated_with::gene.

This gene encodes a member of the is_associated_with::cytochrome P450 superfamily of is_associated_with::enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are is_associated_with::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.
