CYP2A7

CYP2A7 (cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily A, polypeptide 7) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CYP2A7 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. This protein localizes to the is_associated_with::endoplasmic reticulum; its substrate has not yet been determined. This gene, which produces two transcript variants, is part of a large cluster of cytochrome P450 genes from the CYP2A, CYP2B and CYP2F subfamilies on chromosome 19q.
