    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway
  • metabolizing long chain fatty and playing an important physiological role in fatty acid signaling processes in both cerebellum and thymus
  • may play an important role in modulating the arachidonic acid signaling pathway
  • plays an important physiological role in fatty acid signaling processes in both cerebellum and thymus
  • exhibits few genetic variations, supporting a probable role in endogenous processes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS electron transport
    text catalyzed the hydroxylation of structurally related long chain fatty acid (docosahexaenoic acid)
