ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.14.177

Accepted Name
ultra-long-chain fatty acid omega-hydroxylase
Alternative Name(s)
CYP4F22
Reaction catalysed
an omega-methyl-ultra-long-chain fatty acid + O2 + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = an omega-hydroxy-ultra-long-chain fatty acid + H(+) + H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, which is expressed in the epidermis of mammals, catalyzes the omega-hydroxylation of ultra-long-chain fatty acids (C28 to C36).
  • The products are incorporated into acylceramides, epidermis-specific ceramide species that are very important for skin barrier formation.
