Cytochrome P450, Family 2, Subfamily S, Polypeptide 1 (CYP2S1) Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. In rodents, the homologous protein has been shown to metabolize certain carcinogens; however, the specific function of the human protein has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

CYP2S1: Has a potential importance for extrahepatic xenobiotic metabolism. Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
