Cyp2a1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables steroid hydroxylase activity. Involved in coumarin metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Orthologous to human CYP2A13 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily A member 13).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Cyp2a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
