Gene information for EPHX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2052
Official gene symbolEPHX1
Full nameepoxide hydrolase 1, microsomal (xenobiotic)
Aliases,EPHX,EPOX,MEH,
Gene summaryEpoxide hydrolase is a critical biotransformation enzyme that converts epoxides from the degradation of aromatic compounds to trans-dihydrodiols which can be conjugated and excreted from the body. Epoxide hydrolase functions in both the activation and detoxification of epoxides. Mutations in this gene cause preeclampsia, epoxide hydrolase deficiency or increased epoxide hydrolase activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
