Enables hydroperoxy icosatetraenoate isomerase activity. Involved in fat cell differentiation; long-chain fatty acid metabolic process; and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within ceramide biosynthetic process and establishment of skin barrier. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and membrane. Is expressed in epidermis and skin.
