Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** EPHX2 is a cytosolic epoxide hydrolase that exhibits epoxide hydrolase activity, dephosphorylation activity, and phosphatase activity. It is a member of the epoxide hydrolase family, which is characterized by its ability to hydrolyze epoxides into diols. EPHX2 is also known for its ability to bind magnesium ions and regulate the activity of various enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. **Pathways and Functions:** EPHX2 is involved in several key metabolic pathways, including: 1. **Cholesterol Homeostasis:** EPHX2 hydrolyzes cholesterol epoxides, which are toxic to cells, into cholesteryl esters. This process helps maintain cholesterol homeostasis and prevents lipid peroxidation. 2. **Fatty Acid Metabolism:** EPHX2 regulates the metabolism of fatty acids by hydrolyzing epoxides, which are intermediate products of fatty acid oxidation. This helps maintain the balance of fatty acid metabolism and prevents lipid peroxidation. 3. **Arachidonic Acid Metabolism:** EPHX2 is involved in the hydrolysis of arachidonic acid epoxides, which are precursors to prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This process helps regulate inflammation and immune responses. 4. **Epoxide Metabolism:** EPHX2 is a key enzyme in the metabolism of epoxides, which are toxic compounds that can cause cellular damage. EPHX2 hydrolyzes epoxides into diols, which are less toxic and can be further metabolized by other enzymes. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of EPHX2 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer:** EPHX2 has been shown to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. This overexpression is associated with increased resistance to chemotherapy and poor prognosis. 2. **Neurological Disorders:** EPHX2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Dysregulation of EPHX2 has been shown to contribute to the accumulation of toxic epoxides in the brain. 3. **Metabolic Disorders:** EPHX2 has been shown to play a role in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. Dysregulation of EPHX2 has been implicated in the development of metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, EPHX2 is a crucial enzyme that plays a pivotal role in maintaining cellular and physiological homeostasis. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of understanding its functions and mechanisms of action. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the role of EPHX2 in human health and disease.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
