Cyp1b1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables monooxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cAMP; positive regulation of metabolic process; and response to glucocorticoid. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Used to study myocardial infarction. Biomarker of breast adenocarcinoma; esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; hypertension; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Peters anomaly; anterior segment dysgenesis 6; breast cancer; glaucoma (multiple); and lung squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CYP1B1 (cytochrome P450 family 1 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 rat Cyp1b1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
