Function | A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and its conjugates (PubMed:14660610, PubMed:24563460). 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 (CPR; NADPH- ferrihemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:14660610, PubMed:24563460). Acts as an omega and omega-1 hydroxylase for arachidonic acid and possibly for other long chain fatty acids. May modulate the arachidonic acid signaling pathway and play a role in other fatty acid signaling processes (PubMed:14660610, PubMed:24563460). May down-regulate the biological activities of N-arachidonoyl-serotonin, an endocannabinoid that has anti-nociceptive effects through inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase FAAH, TRPV1 receptor and T-type calcium channels. Catalyzes C-2 oxidation of the indole ring of N-arachidonoyl-serotonin forming a less active product 2-oxo-N-arachidonoyl-serotonin (PubMed:24563460). |

Background
CYP2U1(Cytochrome P450, Family 2, Subfamily U, Polypeptide 1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYP2U1 gene. Members of the P450 enzyme family have roles in the tissue-specific conversion of substrates into locally active hormones, vitamins, and signaling molecules, including arachidonic acid derivatives known as eicosanoids. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the CYP2U1 gene to chromosome 4.Chuang et al.(2004) stated that CYP2U1 maps to 4q25. Using recombination experiments in Sf9 insect cells, Chuang et al.(2004) found that CYP2U1 metabolized arachidonic acid, docosahexaenoic acid(DHA), and other long chain fatty acids. Chuang et al.(2004) suggested that CYP2U1 may play a role in brain and immune functions.
