EC 1.14.14.79 Details
EC number
1.14.14.79
Accepted name
docosahexaenoic acid ω-hydroxylase
Reaction
docosahexaenoate + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 22-hydroxydocosahexaenoate + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O
Other name(s)
CYP4F3B, CYP4V2, docosahexaenoate,NADPH:O2 oxidoreductase (22-hydroxydocosahexaenoate forming)
Systematic name
docosahexaenoate,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (22-hydroxydocosahexaenoate-forming)
Comment
A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein isolated from human eye tissue. Defects in the enzyme are associated with Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy. The enzyme also produces some 21-hydroxydocosahexaenoate. Acts in a similar way on icosapentaenoic acid.
