Alkane 1-Hydroxylase; Alkane Hydroxylase; CYP4A; Cytochrome P-450 4A; Cytochrome P-450 IVA; Fatty Acid Omega-Hydroxylase; Laurate Omega-Hydroxylase; Lauric Acid (Omega-1)-Hydroxylase; Lauric Acid Monooxygenase; Lauric Acid Omega-hydroxylase
A P450 oxidoreductase that catalyzes the hydroxylation of the terminal carbon of linear hydrocarbons such as OCTANE and FATTY ACIDS in the omega position. The enzyme may also play a role in the oxidation of a variety of structurally unrelated compounds such as XENOBIOTICS, and STEROIDS.
