Gene Information

human ... CYP4F2(8529)

General description

The gene CYP4F2 (cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily F member 2) encodes a protein belonging to the P450 superfamily of enzymes. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 19p13.12. It is expressed in human liver and renal microsomes. It is mostly localized to the S2 and S3 segments of the proximal tubule in kidney.

Immunogen

Cytochrome P450 4F2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-CYP4F2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The gene CYP4F2 (cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily F member 2) encodes a Vitamin K1 oxidase that catalyzes the hydroxylation of the tocopherol phytyl side chain in the inactivation pathway of vitamin E. It mediates the ω-hydroxylation of arachidonic acid to 20-HETE (20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid) in human liver. 20-HETE is involved in the control of kidney vascular and tubular function, vascular tone control in cerebral and coronary circulation, and in turn, blood pressure. Polymorphism in this gene is associated with altered requirement of warfarin dose used to treat thrombotic events. Aberration V433M (rs2108622) in this gene is linked to ischemic stroke in the Northern Chinese Han population.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

CYP4F2 is a member of the cytochrome P450 enzymes and is responsible for metabolizing arachidonic acid to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE); 20-HETE plays a role in the regulation of vascular tone in the cerebral, coronary, and renal circulation. The present study

20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), an omega-hydroxylated arachidonic acid (AA) metabolite, elicits specific effects on kidney vascular and tubular function that, in turn, influence blood pressure control. The human kidney's capacity to convert AA to 20-HETE is unclear, however, as is the

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a metabolite of arachidonic acid (AA) produced by the CYP4A and CYP4F enzyme families has been reported to induce mitogenic and angiogenic responses both in vitro and in vivo, and inhibitors of this pathway reduced growth of

Warfarin is an effective, commonly prescribed anticoagulant used to treat and prevent thrombotic events. Because of historically high rates of drug-associated adverse events, warfarin remains underprescribed. Further, interindividual variability in therapeutic dose mandates frequent monitoring until target anticoagulation is achieved.
Matthew G McDonald et al.
Molecular pharmacology, 75(6), 1337-1346 (2009-03-20)
Genetic polymorphisms in VKORC1 and CYP2C9, genes controlling vitamin K(1) (VK1) epoxide reduction and (S)-warfarin metabolism, respectively, are major contributors to interindividual variability in warfarin dose. The V433M polymorphism (rs2108622) in CYP4F2 has also been associated with warfarin dose and
