CYP2B7P
Description
The CYP2B7P (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 7, pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 19.
CYP2B7P is a pseudogene located on chromosome 19. Pseudogenes are non-functional copies of functional genes, meaning they do not produce a functional protein. They are thought to have arisen through duplication and subsequent mutation of a functional gene. CYP2B7P shares a high degree of sequence similarity with the functional CYP2B7 gene, suggesting that it may have descended from a functional copy.
CYP2B7P is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy of a functional gene. It is likely that CYP2B7P was once a functional gene, but has since accumulated mutations that have rendered it inactive. Pseudogenes can be useful for studying the evolution of genes and for understanding the genetic basis of disease.
CYP2B7P is also known as CYP2B, CYP2B7, CYP2B7P1.
