| Protein Function |
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of various endogenous substrates, including fatty acids, steroid hormones and vitamins (PubMed:7574697, PubMed:11093772, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576). 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:7574697, PubMed:11093772, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576). Primarily catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) with a preference for the last double bond (PubMed:7574697, PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Metabolizes all trans-retinoic acid toward its 4-hydroxylated form (PubMed:11093772). Displays 16-alpha hydroxylase activity toward estrogen steroid hormones, 17beta-estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) (PubMed:14559847). Plays a role in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. It is the principal enzyme responsible for the metabolism of the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel (taxol) (PubMed:26427316).

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | Pharmacologic response to treprostinil should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 2C8 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the treprostinil dosage adjusted as necessary. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience excessive adverse effects of treprostinil such as dizziness, lightheadedness, flushing, diarrhea, edema, and unusual bleeding or bruising. | ||||||||
