Function
Biotransformation enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of arene and aliphatic epoxides to less reactive and more water soluble dihydrodiols by the trans addition of water. Plays a role in the metabolism of endogenous lipids such as epoxide-containing fatty acids. Metabolizes the abundant endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) to free arachidonic acid (AA) and glycerol.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Microsome membrane (Single-pass type III membrane protein); Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Single-pass type III membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Found in liver
Disease Association: [In some populations, the high activity haplotype tyr113/his139 is overrepresented among women suffering from pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia) when compared with healthy controls] | [Variations in EPHX1 gene non-coding regions have been observed in a patient with hypercholanemia. The pathogenicity of these variants has not been confirmed]
