CYP20A1

Chr 2

cytochrome P450 family 20 subfamily A member 1

Also known as: CYP-M

The protein is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily but lacks key conserved motifs including part of the heme binding site and the I-helix motif, suggesting it may have atypical enzymatic properties compared to other P450 enzymes. This gene is extremely intolerant to loss-of-function variants (pLI ~1.0), indicating it is under strong selective pressure and likely essential for normal function. However, no definitive human disease associations have been established for CYP20A1 mutations despite its apparent functional importance.
