This enzyme weighs approximately 55 kDa. It plays an important role in the oxidative metabolism of retinoic acid a form of vitamin A. Predominantly it is expressed in the liver but expression is also seen in other tissues like brain and placenta. Monoclonal antibodies targeting CYP26A1 can facilitate research to better understand these expressions.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP26A1 controls the levels of retinoic acid within cells by catalyzing its 4-hydroxylation ensuring precise regulation of cellular differentiation and proliferation. It is a part of the broader retinoid metabolism system which involves several other P450 enzymes that ensure the metabolic balance of retinoic acid. CYP26A1 works with these enzymes to tightly regulate this critical signaling molecule's presence impacting development processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP26A1 significantly contributes to the retinol metabolism pathway and the broader retinoid signaling pathway. Its action helps manage the intricate balance of retinoic acid connecting it functionally to other cytochrome P450 enzymes like CYP26B1. These pathways play essential roles in modulating gene expression patterns during embryonic development and tissue differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\nCYP26A1's dysregulation relates to disorders such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia and certain cancers. Altered enzymatic activity affects retinoic acid levels leading to disrupted tissue differentiation and development. In some cancers proteins like retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) interact with dysregulated retinoic acid levels due to CYP26A1 anomalies influencing cancer progression and potential therapeutic targets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854353387689,"sku":"ab151968","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab151968","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
