About Ephx2

Summary

Enables Epoxide Hydrolase activity. Involved in several processes, including Cholesterol homeostasis; epoxide metabolic process; and regulation of Cholesterol metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; heart; integumental system; nervous system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease; familial hypercholesterolemia; and hypertension. Orthologous to human EPHX2 (Epoxide Hydrolase 2).
