Cyp2a5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; heme binding activity; and monooxygenase activity. Involved in response to stilbenoid. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to cadmium ion and heme metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic microtubule. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Orthologous to several human genes including CYP2A13 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily A member 13) and CYP2A6 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily A member 6).

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 Cyp2a5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
