20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a potent vasoconstrictor and mediator of the myogenic response, is a major arachidonic acid metabolite in the microvasculature of the rat kidney formed primarily by the cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 4A isoforms, CYP4A1, CYP4A2, and CYP4A3. We examined CYP4A isoform expression and 20-HETE synthesis in microdissected interlobar, arcuate, and interlobular arteri...
