Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, NAD(P)H as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen; retinoic acid 4-hydroxylase activity; and retinoic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; positive regulation of tongue muscle cell differentiation; and tongue morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cornification; establishment of T cell polarity; and male gamete generation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CYP26B1 (cytochrome P450 family 26 subfamily B member 1).
