|
| Function |
This enzyme metabolizes arachidonic acid predominantly via a NADPH-dependent olefin epoxidation to all four regioisomeric cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. One of the predominant enzymes responsible for the epoxidation of endogenous cardiac arachidonic acid pools.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Microsome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in heart, present at lower levels in liver, ileum, jejunum, colon, and kidney.
|
| Top Pathways |
Ovarian steroidogenesis, Inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels, Arachidonic acid metabolism, Linoleic acid metabolism
