Protein Function A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and its conjugates.Cytochrome P450 2U1 Is a Novel Independent Prognostic Biomarker in Breast Cancer Patients
Biochemical Properties CYPs are a superfamily of enzymes with related catalysis to endogenous and exogenous bioactive substances, including xenobiotic metabolism, drugs, and some endogenous substances metabolism which activate cells and stimulate cell signaling pathways, such as arachidonic acid metabolism, steroid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism. Catalyses the following reaction- ω-methyl-long-chain fatty acid + O2 + reduced [NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] = an ω-hydroxy-long-chain fatty acid + H+ + H2O + oxidized [NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]

Additional Comments Cytochrome P450 2U1 (CYP2U1) exhibits several distinctive characteristics among the 57 human CYPs, such as its presence in almost all living organisms with a highly conserved sequence, its particular gene organization with only five exons, its major location in thymus and brain, and its protein sequence involving an unusually long N-terminal region containing 8 proline residues and an insert of about 20 amino acids containing 5 arginine residues after the transmembrane helix.
