Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables arachidonic acid epoxygenase activity and linoleic acid epoxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within arachidonic acid metabolic process and linoleic acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in alimentary system and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Plasmodium falciparum malaria; carcinoma (multiple); end stage renal disease; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and hypertension (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including CYP2C18 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 18); CYP2C19 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19); and CYP2C8 (cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 8).
