Rabbit Anti-CYP24A1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
CYP24A1 (cytochrome P450, family 24, subfamily A, polypeptide 1) is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily. It is a mitochondrial enzyme responsible for inactivating vitamin D3 metabolites through the SLC24 oxidation pathway. In regulating the level of vitamin D3, CYP24A1 plays a role in calcium homeostasis and the vitamin D endocrine system. CYP24A1 also has a role in maintaining calcium homeostasis. It catalyzes the NADPH-dependent 24-hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) in the presence of adrenodoxin and NADPH-adrenodoxin reductase.
Function:
Has a role in maintaining calcium homeostasis. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent 24-hydroxylation of calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D(3)) and calcitriol (1-alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)). The enzyme can perform up to 6 rounds of hydroxylation of calcitriol leading to calcitroic acid. It also shows 23-hydroxylating activity leading to 1-alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)-26,23-lactone as end product.
Subcellular Location:
Mitochondrion.
DISEASE:
Hypercalcemia infantile (HCAI) [MIM:143176]: A disorder characterized by abnormally high level of calcium in the blood, failure to thrive, vomiting, dehydration, and nephrocalcinosis. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity:
Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.
