Cyp2u1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable arachidonate omega-hydroxylase activity; heme binding activity; and steroid hydroxylase activity. Predicted to be involved in omega-hydroxylase P450 pathway and xenobiotic metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; connective tissue; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 56. Orthologous to human CYP2U1 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily U member 1).

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 mouse Cyp2u1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
