CYP4F3 - cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily F member 3
Function
Isoform CYP4F3BCatalyzes predominantly the oxidation of the terminal carbon (omega-oxidation) of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (PubMed:11461919, PubMed:16820285, PubMed:18577768). Participates in the conversion of arachidonic acid to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a signaling molecule acting both as vasoconstrictive and natriuretic with overall effect on arterial blood pressure (PubMed:11461919, PubMed:16820285, PubMed:18577768). Has high omega-hydroxylase activity toward other PUFAs, including eicosatrienoic acid (ETA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (PubMed:16820285, PubMed:18577768). Can also catalyze the oxidation of the penultimate carbon (omega-1 oxidation) of PUFAs with lower efficiency (PubMed:18577768). Contributes to the degradation of saturated very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) such as docosanoic acid and hexacosanoic acid, by catalyzing successive omega-oxidations to the corresponding dicarboxylic acids, thereby initiating chain shortening (PubMed:16547005, PubMed:18182499). Omega-hydroxylates long-chain 3-hydroxy fatty acids, likely initiating the oxidative conversion to the corresponding 3-hydroxydicarboxylic fatty acids (PubMed:18065749). Has omega-hydroxylase activity toward long-chain fatty acid epoxides with preference for 8,9-epoxy-(5Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatrienoate (EET) and 9,10-epoxyoctadecanoate (PubMed:15145985).
