Biological function summary
CYP2C8 facilitates the metabolism of xenobiotics and endogenous compounds contributing to homeostasis. It forms part of the cytochrome P450 hepatic microsomal enzyme complex which contains multiple enzymes responsible for oxidative metabolism. CYP2C8 metabolizes several clinically important drugs including paclitaxel and amodiaquine as well as endogenous arachidonic acid impacting vascular biology.
Pathways
This enzyme acts within the drug metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism pathways. Within these pathways it works closely with other cytochrome P450 enzymes such as CYP3A4. The drug metabolism pathway requires CYP2C8 for phase I of drug processing which modifies drugs into more water-soluble compounds. In arachidonic acid metabolism CYP2C8 is important to forming bioactive epoxyeicosatrienoic acids that function as signaling molecules in tissues.
