    basic FUNCTION
  • cytochrome P450, possibly involved in the metabolism of substances active in the eye growth and differentiation
  • in liver microsomes involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway
  • playing a role in 4-hydroxylation of 17-beta-estradiol
  • inhibiting Na+,K+ ATPase in the cornea
  • may be an important source of retinoic acid
  • during embryonic and early postnatal development
  • monooxygenase, acting to form or degrade some endobiotic compound that is necessary for proper development of the filtering structures
  • involved in many metabolic processes including androgen metabolism
  • potential role of CYP1B1 in eye development
  • important in regulating endogenous metabolic pathways, including the metabolism of steroid hormones, fatty acids, melatonin, and vitamins
  • CYP1B1 expression has a significant impact on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) angiogenic and inflammatory functions
  • important role for CYP1B1 expression in the regulation of various retinal astrocytes functions, which are important in neurovascular development and integrity
  • mitochondrial CYP1B1 is involved in pregnenolone synthesis in human glial cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development , electron transport , detoxification

  • metabolizes endogenous compounds such as steroid hormones, fatty acids, and xenobiotics, including drugs and carcinogens

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
  • CYP1B1 mRNA is strongly and dose dependently induced by TCDD
  • small molecule cofactor, nucleotide,
  • NADPH, heme
  • protein
  • flavoprotein P450 oxidoreductase (POR)
  • modifier of MYOC (role in digenic mechanism of GLC1A)
  • CYP1B1 may play an important role in preventing ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated XIAP degradation through the activation of PRKCE signaling in cancer cells
  • cell & other
    REGULATION

    and overexpression of the gene increased
    survival of the cells
    induced by dioxin
    by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)
    Other might be regulated by NR5A1 and CREB1

  • to endometrial cancer
  • to neonatal-onset (NO) primary congenital glaucoma

  • combination of R368H and Myoc mutation correlates with earlier manifestation of GLC1A
  • polymorphisms on exons 2 and 3 increasing the risk of endometrial cancer
  • rs2567206 (T2805C) significantly associated with PCG (
  • heterozygous missens mutations with absent or reduced relative enzymatic activity could be a risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma
  • patients with CYP1B1 pathogenic variants had a poorer outcome in primary congenital glaucoma

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Cyp1b1-/- mice have ocular drainage structure abnormalities resembling those reported in human PCG patients. In Cyp1b1-/- mice tyrosinase gene (Tyr) acts as a modifier of the drainage structure phenotype
