About Cyp7a1

Summary

Enables Cholesterol 7-alpha-monooxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within Cholesterol catabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in liver. Orthologous to human CYP7A1 (Cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily A member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
