About Cyp46a1

Summary

Enables Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase activity. Involved in Cholesterol catabolic process and regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation. Acts upstream of with a negative effect on protein localization to membrane raft. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; retina nuclear layer; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human CYP46A1 (Cytochrome P450 family 46 subfamily A member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
