This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids.[6] CYP2W1 is an interesting enzyme since it is mainly expressed in tumors and not in normal human tissue.
