Description:
CYP4V2 is a member of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) superfamily of heme-thiolate proteins that catalyze the oxidation of various endogenous and xenobiotic substrates in the metabolic pathway. The CYP4 proteins are primarily involved in fatty acid metabolism, and possess ω-hydroxylation activity. The CYP4V2 enzyme shows preference for saturated, medium-chain fatty acids and exhibits ω-hydroxylase specificity towards myristic acid and palmitic acid. It is expressed in various tissues, but is most abundant in the retina. Mutations in this gene cause Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy, a retinal degenerative disease. A polymorphism in this gene associated with increased risk of venous thrombosis in HbH patients. Although the encoded protein is not known to be related to thrombosis, the aforementioned SNP was found by others to associate with the expression level of genes involved in coagulation.
