Gene nameCYP4V2
Protein nameCytochrome P450 4V2 (Docosahexaenoic acid omega-hydroxylase CYP4V2) (EC 1.14.14.79) (Long-chain fatty acid omega-monooxygenase) (EC 1.14.14.80)
CYP4V2 protein
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in fatty acid metabolism in the eye. Catalyzes the omega-hydroxylation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) docosahexaenoate (DHA) and its precursor eicosapentaenoate (EPA), and may contribute to the homeostasis of these retinal PUFAs . Omega hydroxylates saturated fatty acids such as laurate, myristate and palmitate, the catalytic efficiency decreasing in the following order: myristate > laurate > palmitate (C14>C12>C16) . Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR; NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase). .
