Ontology: cytochrome P450 3A4 protein, human (C1142644)

Definition (NCI) Cytochrome P450 3A4 (503 aa, ~57 kDa) is encoded by the human CYP3A4 gene. This protein is involved in the oxidation of steroids, fatty acids and xenobiotics.

Ontology: CYP3A4 wt Allele (C1705261)

Definition (NCI) Human CYP3A4 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q21.1 and is approximately 27 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cytochrome P450 3A4 protein, plays a role in the oxidation of steroids, drugs, carcinogens and other xenobiotics. CYP3A4 gene dysfunction is associated with both lung cancer and epipodophyllotoxin-induced leukemogenesis.
