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