Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables steroid 11-beta-monooxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including aldosterone biosynthetic process; drinking behavior; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by hormone. Predicted to be located in dendrite and mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in adrenal gland and gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia; corticosterone methyloxidase deficiency 1; diabetes mellitus (multiple); hypertension (multiple); and primary hyperaldosteronism (multiple). Orthologous to human CYP11B1 (cytochrome P450 family 11 subfamily B member 1) and CYP11B2 (cytochrome P450 family 11 subfamily B member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit some postnatal lethality, altered blood chemistry, hypotension, and abnormal adrenal cortex morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
