Human liver leukotriene B4 (LTB4) omega-hydroxylase (CYP4F2) plays an important role in the metabolic inactivation and degradation of LTB4, a potent mediator of inflammation.

Potent suicidal inhibitors of the LTB4 omega-hydroxylase in human PMN will help elucidate the roles played by LTB4 and its omega-oxidation products in regulating PMN function and in mediating inflammation.

Ulcerative Colitis
01/01/1995 - "
LTB4 omega-hydroxylase activity is an important factor in regulating LTB4 level in colonic mucosa, and the increased LTB4 level in inflamed mucosa with IBD, especially ulcerative colitis, is caused by decreased LTB4 omega-hydroxylase activity and increased 5-lipoxygenase activity.

To determine how LTB4 omega-hydroxylase is modulated in inflammatory bowel disease, we investigated the kinetic characteristics of this enzyme in 10 patients with Crohn's disease (CD), nine with ulcerative colitis (UC) and eight healthy control subjects.
