CYP3A5

该基因编码细胞色素p450酶超家族的一个成员。细胞色素p450蛋白是一种单加氧酶，催化药物代谢和胆固醇、类固醇等脂类的合成。编码的蛋白质代谢药物以及类固醇激素睾酮和孕酮。该基因是7q21.1染色体上一组细胞色素p450基因的一部分。该基因的两个假基因已在7号染色体上的这个簇内被鉴定出来。该基因的表达在人群中广泛变化，影响转录剪接的单核苷酸多态性与高血压易感性有关。选择性剪接导致多个转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2014年4月]
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. The encoded protein metabolizes drugs as well as the steroid hormones testosterone and progesterone. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 7q21.1. Two pseudogenes of this gene have been identified within this cluster on chromosome 7. Expression of this gene is widely variable among populations, and a single nucleotide polymorphism that affects transcript splicing has been associated with susceptibility to hypertensions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
