"Long-chain 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OHFAs) are omega-hydroxylated to form 3-hydroxydicarboxylic acid (3-OHDCAs) precursors in human liver. These products may be implicated in pathological states where fatty acid mobilzation or impairment of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation increases 3-OHFA levels. CYP4A11, an orphan P450, has been shown to omega-hydroxylate 3-hydroxystearate and 3-hydroxypalmitate; the latter is shown here."^^ . . . . . .
