The Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) epoxygenase pathway is a crucial biochemical system involved in the metabolism of fatty acids. This pathway specifically metabolizes arachidonic acid into biologically active epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). The CYP450 enzymes responsible for this conversion are termed epoxygenases. These enzymes play significant roles in regulating cardiovascular functions, inflammation, and various cellular processes.
