Cyp27b1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables calcidiol 1-monooxygenase activity. Involved in calcitriol biosynthetic process from calciol; response to vitamin D; and vitamin D catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within calcium ion transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; lower jaw molar; metanephros; and reproductive system. Used to study rickets. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatitis B; obesity; rickets; type 1 diabetes mellitus; and vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A. Orthologous to human CYP27B1 (cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily B member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Cyp27b1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
