Overview of Gene Research
Cyp4a14, a member of the cytochrome P450 (Cyp450) enzyme superfamily, possesses NADPH monooxygenase activity. It catalyzes omega-hydroxylation of medium-chain fatty acids and arachidonic acid, and is involved in lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and bile acid synthesis pathways [1,2,4]. Genetic models, such as knockout mice, have been crucial in studying its functions.

In the context of disease, Cyp4a14-knockout (KO) mice showed a higher number of goblet cells in the colon and were more resistant to dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, with lower levels of oxidative stress markers and pro-inflammatory cytokines [4]. In another study, KO mice had hypertension driven by excessive fluid reabsorption in the proximal tubule, secondary to overexpression of sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 [5]. Additionally, in a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model, Gsdmd -/- mice showed lower steatosis, partly due to upregulated expression of Cyp4a14 along with other lipolytic genes [3].

In summary, Cyp4a14 plays important roles in lipid metabolism, oxidative stress response, and inflammation. Studies using KO mouse models have revealed its implications in diseases like colitis, hypertension, and NASH, contributing to a better understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms and potentially identifying it as a therapeutic target for these conditions.
