Summary

CYP2D7 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily D member 7 (gene/pseudogene), HGNC:2624) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q13.2, encoding Cytochrome P450 2D7 (A0A087X1C5). May be responsible for the metabolism of many drugs and environmental chemicals that it oxidizes.

This gene is a member of the cytochrome P450 gene superfamily. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This gene is a segregating pseudogene, where some individuals may have an allele that encodes a functional enzyme, while other individuals have an allele encoding a protein that is predicted to be non-functional. In this case, the functional allele is thought to be rare. This locus is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 22.

Subcellular location. Membrane. Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain cortex (at protein level).

Polymorphism. One study shows that a rare double polymorphism allows the expression of a functional protein. Two subsequent studies could not confirm the combined existence of both polymorphisms in the genomes examined in those studies.
