Cyp4a1 - cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily a, polypeptide 1

Enables alkane 1-monooxygenase activity and arachidonic acid monooxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; icosanoid biosynthetic process; and placenta development. Located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Biomarker of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease and hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to several human genes including CYP4A22 (cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily A member 22). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
