CYP26C1 rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: cytochrome P450 family 26 subfamily C member 1(CYP26C1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This enzyme is involved in the catabolism of all-trans- and 9-cis-retinoic acid, and thus contributes to the regulation of retinoic acid levels in cells and tissues. This gene is adjacent to a related gene on chromosome 10q23.33. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],cofactor:Heme group.,function:Plays a role in retinoic acid metabolism. Acts on retinoids, including all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) and its stereoisomer 9-cis-RA (preferred substrate).,induction:By retinoic acid.,similarity:Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.,tissue specificity:Detected in most tissues at very low level.,
