cyp-14A2 encodes one of ~80 C. elegans cytochrome P450s: membrane-associated, heme-containing NADPH-dependent monooxygenases that catalyze the oxidative metabolism of a variety of exogenous compounds and endogenous substrates.
Predicted to enable heme binding activity; iron ion binding activity; and oxidoreductase activity. Expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis; hematologic cancer (multiple); and hereditary spastic paraplegia 56. Is an ortholog of several human genes including CYP2D6 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily D member 6); CYP2D7 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily D member 7 (gene/pseudogene)); and CYP2W1 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily W member 1).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
