CYP26B1

Index CYP26B1

Cytochrome P450 26B1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYP26B1 gene. [1]

Apical ectodermal ridge

The apical ectodermal ridge (AER) is a structure that forms from the ectodermal cells at the distal end of each limb bud and acts as a major signaling center to ensure proper development of a limb.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol (from the Ancient Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid), followed by the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol) is an organic molecule.

Colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer and colon cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine).

Cytochrome P450

Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are proteins of the superfamily containing heme as a cofactor and, therefore, are hemoproteins.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Intestinal epithelium

The intestinal epithelium is the layer of cells that forms the luminal surface or lining of both the small and large intestine (colon) of the gastrointestinal tract.

Large intestine

The large intestine, also known as the large bowel or colon, is the last part of the gastrointestinal tract and of the digestive system in vertebrates.

Lipid

In biology and biochemistry, a lipid is a biomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents.

Monooxygenase

Monooxygenases are enzymes that incorporate one hydroxyl group into substrates in many metabolic pathways.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Protein superfamily

A protein superfamily is the largest grouping (clade) of proteins for which common ancestry can be inferred (see homology).

Steroid

A steroid is a biologically active organic compound with four rings arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

New!!: CYP26B1 and Steroid · See more »

Tretinoin

Tretinoin, also known as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), is medication used for the treatment of acne and acute promyelocytic leukemia.
