    Summary
    This gene, CYP4F3, encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. The enzyme starts the process of inactivating and degrading leukotriene B4, a potent mediator of inflammation. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 19. Another member of this family, CYP4F8, is approximately 18 kb away. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2019]

    1. High n3:n6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) intake was associated with a reduced risk of ulcerative colitis (UC) in individuals with the GG/AG genotype at a single nucleotide polymorphism in CYP4F3 but not those with the AA genotype. The association between dietary n3:n6 PUFA intake and risk of UC may be modified variants at CYP4F3.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
