Summary: Enables fatty acid omega-hydroxylase activity. Involved in fatty acid metabolic process; kidney development; and response to testosterone. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Biomarker of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease and hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to human CYP4A11 (cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily A member 11) and CYP4A22 (cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily A member 22). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
