Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 13078 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen. Involved in several processes, including camera-type eye development; regulation of gene expression; and retinoid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel endothelial cell migration; endothelial cell-cell adhesion; and vasculature development. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; musculature; and sensory organ. Used to study buphthalmos. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Peters anomaly; anterior segment dysgenesis 6; breast cancer; glaucoma (multiple); and lung squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CYP1B1 (cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily B member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are protected from the acute bone marrow cytotoxic and preleukemic effects of DMBA, show a decreased incidence of DMBA-induced lymphomas, and display background-sensitive ocular abnormalities.
