Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the cardiovascular system. 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 (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of PUFA. Converts arachidonic acid to four regioisomeric epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EpETrE), likely playing a major role in the epoxidation of endogenous cardiac arachidonic acid pools. In endothelial cells, participates in eicosanoids metabolism by converting hydroperoxide species into hydroxy epoxy metabolites. In combination with 15- lipoxygenase metabolizes arachidonic acid and converts hydroperoxyicosatetraenoates (HpETEs) into hydroxy epoxy eicosatrienoates (HEETs), which are precursors of vasodilatory trihydroxyicosatrienoic acids (THETAs). This hydroperoxide isomerase activity is NADPH- and O2-independent. Catalyzes the monooxygenation of a various xenobiotics, such as danazol, amiodarone, terfenadine, astemizole, thioridazine, tamoxifen, cyclosporin A and nabumetone. Catalyzes hydroxylation of the anthelmintics albendazole and fenbendazole. Catalyzes the sulfoxidation of fenbedazole.
