Cyp4a12a Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables alkane 1-monooxygenase activity and arachidonate omega-hydroxylase activity. Involved in omega-hydroxylase P450 pathway. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and extracellular space. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in liver; metanephros; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to human CYP4A11 (cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily A member 11) and CYP4A22 (cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily A member 22). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cyp4a12a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
