    basic FUNCTION
  • leukotriene beta 4 omega-hydrolase, catalyzing the inactivation of leukotrienne beta 4
  • metabolizing eicosanoid mediators
  • catalysing the inactivation of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent mediator of inflammation responsible for recruitment and activation of neutrophils
  • responsible for the omega-hydroxylation of phytanic acid
  • physiological roles of CYP4F3 and CYP4F12 in eosinophils are different (Kikuta 2007)
  • having an an important role in the resolution of inflammation (Hardwick 2008)
  • may play a role in the development of benzene hematotoxicity and serve as a biomarker of benzene exposure (Zhao 2009)
