Cyp26c1 - cytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily C, polypeptide 1

Predicted to enable retinoic acid 4-hydroxylase activity and retinoic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in retinoic acid catabolic process and sterol metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; neural crest cell development; and organelle fusion. Predicted to be located in membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal dermal hypoplasia. Orthologous to human CYP26C1 (cytochrome P450 family 26 subfamily C member 1).
