Cyp2c12 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable heme binding activity and oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen. Predicted to be involved in organic acid metabolic process and xenobiotic metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in end stage renal disease and renal hypertension. Orthologous to human CYP2C8 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 8). [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 Cyp2c12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
