Human Beta, Beta-Carotene 9', 10'-Oxygenase, BCO2 ELISA Kit, 96T Vortex Mixer and CSF2 form a cytokine

and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q

Directly binds Holliday junctions

MED29 is a subunit of the Mediator complex

This gene is located on chromosome 1 in a tandem cluster of closely related family members including argonaute 4 and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C| 1

but not in muscle (PubMed: 17908561)

Human Beta, Beta-Carotene 9', 10'-Oxygenase, BCO2 ELISA Kit, 96T Vortex Mixer and CSF2 form a cytokineAsymmetrically cleaves beta carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta apo 10' carotenal and beta ionone. Besides beta carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects.
