Description
Product Characteristics:
CYP2S1 is 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.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: CP2S1_HUMAN, CYP2S1, CYPIIS1, Cytochrome P450 2S1, cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily S, polypeptide 1.
