Cyp51 - cytochrome P450, family 51

Predicted to enable heme binding activity and sterol 14-demethylase activity. Involved in negative regulation of amyloid-beta clearance; negative regulation of protein catabolic process; and negative regulation of protein secretion. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; integumental system; jaw; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CYP51A1 (cytochrome P450 family 51 subfamily A member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
