Summary
Enables oxysterol binding activity. Acts upstream of or within hydrocarbon catabolic process and response to polycyclic arene. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricle and choroid plexus; exocrine system; integumental system; nervous system; and nose. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; anemia (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); respiratory system disease (multiple); and toxic encephalopathy. Orthologous to human EPHX1 (epoxide hydrolase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
