High impact information on Cyp8b1

  • The synthesis and excretion of bile acids were found to be dramatically elevated in these mutants, and the expression of 2 key bile acid synthase genes, cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) and sterol 12alpha-hydroxylase (Cyp8b1), was strongly upregulated [1].
  • Feedback regulation of the rate-limiting biosynthetic enzyme cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) is lost in Cyp8b1(-/-) mice, causing expansion of the bile acid pool and alterations in cholesterol metabolism [2].
  • Disruption of the sterol 12alpha-hydroxylase gene (Cyp8b1) in mice prevents the synthesis of cholate, a primary bile acid, and its metabolites [2].
  • Sterol 12alpha-hydroxylase (Cyp8b1) channels bile acid precursors into CA and maps at chromosome 9 (73 cM) [3].
  • An HNF4alpha binding site was found in the mouse Cyp8b1 promoter that was able to direct HNF4alpha-dependent transcription [4].
 

Biological context of Cyp8b1

  • Two loci on chromosome 9 control bile acid composition: evidence that a strong candidate gene, Cyp8b1, is not the culprit [3].
