additional information | generation of a transgenic mouse model, which overexpresses sEH specifically in neurons. Transgenic mice show increased neuron labeling in cortex and hippocampus with little change in labeling of other brain regions. Despite a 3fold increase in sEH activity in the brain, there is no change in arterial pressure. Immunohistochemical examination of transgenic mouse brain regions, overview | Mus musculus |

metabolism | soluble epoxide hydrolase is the major enzyme responsible for the metabolism and inactivation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, EETs | Mus musculus |
physiological function | soluble epoxide hydrolase is the major enzyme responsible for the metabolism and inactivation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, EETs. In the central nervous system, EETs are thought to play a role in the regulation of local blood flow, protection from ischemic injury, inhibition of inflammation, the release of peptide hormones and modulation of fever | Mus musculus |
