Anti-CYP4V2 antibody produced in rabbit

Cytochrome P450 4V2 (CYP4V2) belongs to human cytochrome P450 enzyme family and encodes a protein of 55 kDa. CYP4V2 gene is mapped to human chromosome 4q35.1−q35.2. CYP4V2 is majorly expressed in the epithelial cells of the retina and cornea. In retinal pigment epithelia (RPE) cell lines, the enzyme is localized to endoplasmic reticulum.

This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 hemethiolate protein superfamily which are involved in oxidizing various substrates in the metabolic pathway. It is implicated in the metabolism of fatty acid precursors into n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mutations in this gene result in Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy. (provided by RefSeq)

Cytochrome P450 4V2 (CYP4V2) is involved in the fatty acid ω-hydroxylation. It alters lipid homeostasis when expressed in human liver cancer HepG2 cells. It coordinates with enzymes involved in mitochondrial and peroxisomal α/β-oxidation. Functional CYP4V2 gene mutant is implicated in ocular disease called the Bietti crystalline dystrophy. It is also expressed in macrophages and is regulated by nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ).
