Target Name
CYP2W1
Target Full Name
Cytochrome P450 2W1
Target Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that may play a role in retinoid and phospholipid metabolism. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of saturated carbon hydrogen bonds. Hydroxylates all trans-retinoic acid (atRA) to 4-hydroxyretinoate and may regulate atRA clearance. Other retinoids such as all-trans retinol and all-trans retinal are potential endogenous substrates. Catalyzes both epoxidation of double bonds and hydroxylation of carbon hydrogen bonds of the fatty acyl chain of 1-acylphospholipids/2-lysophospholipids. Can metabolize various lysophospholipids classes including lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs), lysophosphatidylinositols (LPIs), lysophosphatidylserines (LPSs), lysophosphatidylglycerols (LPGs), lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPEs) and lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs). Has low or no activity toward 2-acylphospholipids/1-lysophospholipids, diacylphospholipids and free fatty acids. May play a role in tumorigenesis by activating procarcinogens such as aflatoxin B1, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon dihydrodiols and aromatic amines. Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR; NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase).
Target Subcellular Location
Endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Cell membrane. Microsome membrane.
Target Protein Families
Cytochrome P450 family
Target Tissue Specificity
Very low levels are detected in fetal and adult tissues. Highly expressed in several tumor samples, in particular colon and adrenal tumors.
Target Synonyms
CP2W1_HUMAN; CYP2W 1; CYP2W1; CYPIIW1; Cytochrome P450 2W1; Cytochrome P450; family 2; subfamily W; polypeptide 1; MGC34287
Target Background
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.
