Abstract excerpt
20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) plays an important role in the regulation of renal tubular and vascular function and a deficiency in the renal formation of 20-HETE has been linked to the development of hypertension. The cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) gene encodes for the major CYP enzyme responsible for the synthesis of 20-HETE in the human kidney. We screened two human sampling panels (African and...
