| Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 13122 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables cholesterol 7-alpha-monooxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol catabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in liver. Orthologous to human CYP7A1 (cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily A member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruption of this gene experience severe neonatal and postnatal lethality. Supplementation of the maternal diet with fat soluble vitamins and cholic acid starting before birth alleviates much of the phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
