Function | A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the cardiovascular system (PubMed:19965576, PubMed:8631948). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:19965576, PubMed:8631948). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of PUFA (PubMed:19965576, PubMed:8631948). Converts arachidonic acid to four regioisomeric epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EpETrE), likely playing a major role in the epoxidation of endogenous cardiac arachidonic acid pools (PubMed:8631948). In endothelial cells, participates in eicosanoids metabolism by converting hydroperoxide species into hydroxy epoxy metabolites. In combination with 15- lipoxygenase metabolizes arachidonic acid and converts hydroperoxyicosatetraenoates (HpETEs) into hydroxy epoxy eicosatrienoates (HEETs), which are precursors of vasodilatory trihydroxyicosatrienoic acids (THETAs). This hydroperoxide isomerase activity is NADPH- and O2-independent (PubMed:19737933). Catalyzes the monooxygenation of a various xenobiotics, such as danazol, amiodarone, terfenadine, astemizole, thioridazine, tamoxifen, cyclosporin A and nabumetone (PubMed:19923256). Catalyzes hydroxylation of the anthelmintics albendazole and fenbendazole (PubMed:23959307). Catalyzes the sulfoxidation of fenbedazole (PubMed:19923256). |

Background
This enzyme metabolizes arachidonic acid predominantly via a NADPH-dependent olefin epoxidation to all four regioisomeric cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. One of the predominant enzymes responsible for the epoxidation of endogenous cardiac arachidonic acid pools.
