Rabbit Anti-Cytochrome p450 2J2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene 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 is thought to be the predominant enzyme responsible for epoxidation of endogenous arachidonic acid in cardiac tissue. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016].
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. Microsome membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in heart, present at lower levels in liver, ileum, jejunum, colon, and kidney.
Similarity:
Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.
