CYP4V2 cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily V member 2

Gene ID: 285440, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BCD; CYP4AH1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 hemethiolate protein superfamily which are involved in oxidizing various substrates in the metabolic pathway. It is implicated in the metabolism of fatty acid precursors into n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mutations in this gene result in Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy.
