Summary: Enables cholesterol binding activity and cholesterol monooxygenase (side-chain-cleaving) activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; response to vitamin; and steroid biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial crista and perikaryon. Biomarker of several diseases, including glucose metabolism disease (multiple); hypertension; nephrosis; sciatic neuropathy; and status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital adrenal hyperplasia and congenital adrenal insufficiency. Orthologous to human CYP11A1 (cytochrome P450 family 11 subfamily A member 1).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
