This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins aremonooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drugmetabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids.The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the endoplasmicreticulum and its expression is induced by some polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons (PAHs), some of which are found in cigarette smoke.The enzyme's endogenous substrate is unknown; however, it is ableto metabolize some PAHs to carcinogenic intermediates. Otherxenobiotic substrates for this enzyme include caffeine, aflatoxinB1, and acetaminophen. The transcript from this gene contains fourAlu sequences flanked by direct repeats in the 3' untranslatedregion.
Pathway
