Background
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 enzyme is a microsomal vitamin D hydroxylase that converts vitamin D into the active ligand for the vitamin D receptor. A mutation in this gene has been associated with selective 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency.,CYP2R1,Cancer,Signal Transduction,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Endocrine & Metabolism,Mitochondrial metabolism,Cytochromes,Lipid Metabolism,Cytochromes,Lipases,Drug metabolism,Cardiovascular,Lipids,CYP2R1
