DE   Ultra-long-chain fatty acid omega-hydroxylase.
AN   CYP4F22.
CA   An ultra-long-chain fatty acid + [reduced NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] +
CA   O(2) = an ultra-long-chain omega-hydroxy fatty acid + [oxidized NADPH-
CA   -hemoprotein reductase] + H(2)O.
CC   -!- The enzyme, which is expressed in the epidermis of mammals, catalyzes
CC       the omega-hydroxylation of ultra-long-chain fatty acids (C(28) to
CC       C(36)).
CC   -!- The products are incorporated into acylceramides, epidermis-specific
CC       ceramide species that are very important for skin barrier formation.
