CYP4F22

CYP4F22 (cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily F, polypeptide 22) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CYP4F22 is_associated_with::gene.

This gene encodes a member of the is_associated_with::cytochrome P450 superfamily of is_associated_with::enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are is_associated_with::monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 19 and encodes an enzyme thought to play a role in the 12(R)-is_associated_with::lipoxygenase pathway. Mutations in this gene are the cause of ichthyosis lamellar type 3.
