| Protein Function |
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of fatty acids (PubMed:10553002, PubMed:18577768). 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:10553002, PubMed:18577768). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Hydroxylates fatty acids specifically at the omega-1 position displaying the highest catalytic activity for saturated fatty acids (PubMed:10553002, PubMed:18577768). May be involved in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics (Probable).

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | Patients should be monitored for excessive CNS depressant effects. If these effects increase during concomitant administration, the clinician should consider decreasing chlorzoxazone dosage. Patients should be advised to report excessive sedation, headache or nausea to their physician. | ||||||||
