Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 13109 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable heme binding activity; isomerase activity; and monooxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within angiotensin-mediated vasoconstriction involved in regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure; positive regulation of estrogen secretion; and renal tubular secretion. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in liver and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension; myocardial infarction; pulmonary hypertension; renal fibrosis; and renal hypertension. Orthologous to human CYP2J2 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily J member 2). PHENOTYPE: Female mice homozygous for a null mutation display increased systolic blood pressure, increased left ventricular weight, decreased litter sizes, decreased serum estrogen levels, and increased induced vasoconstriction responses.
