Cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily V, polypeptide 2
Gene Summary
CYP4V2 may have a role in fatty acid and steroid metabolism.This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 hemethiolate protein superfamily which are involved in oxidizing various substrates in the metabolic pathway. It is implicated in the metabolism of fatty acid precursors into n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mutations in this gene result in Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy.
