Cyp2a5 - cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily a, polypeptide 5

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; heme binding activity; and monooxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to cadmium ion; heme metabolic process; and response to stilbenoid. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic microtubule. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nicotine dependence and warfarin resistance. Orthologous to human CYP2A13 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily A member 13) and CYP2A6 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily A member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
