Background： This gene, CYP4F8, encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and functions as a 19-hydroxylase of prostaglandins in seminal vesicles. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 19. Another member of this family, CYP4F3, is approximately 18 kb away. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function：catalytic activity:RH + reduced flavoprotein + O(2) = ROH + oxidized flavoprotein + H(2)O.,cofactor:Heme group.,function:Hydroxylates arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) to (18R)-hydroxyarachidonate. Shows little activity against prostaglandin (PG) D2, PGE1, PGE2, PGF2alpha, and leukotriene B4. Catalyzes omega-2 and omega-3-hydroxylation of PGH1 and PGH2. Catalyzes epoxidation of 4,7,10,13,16,19-(Z)-docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) and 7,10,13,16,19-(Z)-docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n-3) and omega-3-hydroxylation of 4,7,10,13,16-(Z)-docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n-6). Catalyzes hydrxylation of PGI2 and carbaprostacyclin.,similarity:Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in the epithelium of seminal vesicles, in renal cortex, in adult and fetal liver, in epidermis, in corneal epithelium, in sweat glands, hair follicles, epithelial linings of the ampulla of vas deferens and of

Subcellular Location：Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein . Microsome membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein .

Expression：Expressed in the epithelium of seminal vesicles, in renal cortex, in adult and fetal liver, in epidermis, in corneal epithelium, in sweat glands, hair follicles, epithelial linings of the ampulla of vas deferens and of the stomach and small intestine, as well as in the transitional epithelium of the bladder and ureter (at protein level). In the epidermis, expressed from the basal cell to the granular cell layers. In the corneal epithelium, expressed in all cell layers. Also detected in prostate. Up-regulated in the epidermis of psoriatic lesions.
