cyp-13A2 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. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Ghosal hematodiaphyseal syndrome; familial Mediterranean fever; and leukemia (multiple). Is an ortholog of several human genes including CYP3A4 (cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4); CYP3A5 (cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 5); and CYP3A7 (cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 7).
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.
