The “orphan” CYP20A1 was cloned from zebrafish and its sequence analyzed.
•
Knockdown of CYP20A1 reduced an optomotor response and elicited bursts of activity.
•
Effects of knockdown resemble some features of a microdeletion of CYP20A1 in human.
•
Expression of CYP20A1 was downregulated by the neurotoxicant methylmercury.
•
CYP20A1 may be involved in neurobehavioral processes and effects of some chemicals.
