About Cyp8b1

Summary

Predicted to enable sterol 12-alpha-hydroxylase activity. Involved in bile acid biosynthetic process and positive regulation of intestinal Cholesterol absorption. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including liver; lung; skeletal muscle; spleen; and testis. Orthologous to human CYP8B1 (Cytochrome P450 family 8 subfamily B member 1).
