Cyp2d4 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables arachidonate monooxygenase activity and progesterone 21-hydroxylase activity. Involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; dopamine biosynthetic process; and response to toluene. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Biomarker of traumatic brain injury. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis; extrapyramidal and movement disease; head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; leukemia (multiple); and major depressive disorder. Orthologous to several human genes including CYP2D6 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily D member 6 (gene/pseudogene)). [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 rat Cyp2d4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
