Function

A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of retinoates (RAs), the active metabolites of vitamin A, and critical signaling molecules in animals (PubMed:22020119, PubMed:9228017, PubMed:9716180). RAs exist as at least four different isomers: all-trans-RA (atRA), 9-cis-RA, 13-cis-RA, and 9,13-dicis-RA, where atRA is considered to be the biologically active isomer, although 9-cis-RA and 13-cis-RA also have activity (Probable). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of atRA primarily at C-4 and C-18, thereby contributing to the regulation of atRA homeostasis and signaling (PubMed:22020119, PubMed:9228017, PubMed:9716180). Hydroxylation of atRA limits its biological activity and initiates a degradative process leading to its eventual elimination (Probable). Involved in the convertion of atRA to all-trans-4-oxo-RA. Able to metabolize other RAs such as 9-cis, 13-cis and 9,13-di-cis RA (By similarity) (PubMed:9228017). Can oxidize all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinoate (DRA) to metabolites which could include all-trans-4-oxo-DRA, all-trans-4-hydroxy-DRA, all-trans-5,8-epoxy-DRA, and all-trans-18-hydroxy-DRA (By similarity). May play a role in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics such as tazarotenic acid (PubMed:26937021).

Activity summary

CYP26A1 also known as Cytochrome P450 26A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily responsible for the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds. 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.

Biological function summary

CYP26A1 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.

Pathways

CYP26A1 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.

Associated diseases and disorders

CYP26A1'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.
