Cyp2b1 - cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily b, polypeptide 1

Enables Hsp70 protein binding activity; Hsp90 protein binding activity; and steroid hydroxylase activity. Involved in several processes, including response to calcium ion; response to insulin; and response to sulfur dioxide. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Biomarker of mental depression and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease; and tuberculosis. Orthologous to human CYP2B6 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
