The human soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH; EC 3.3.3.2) is the product of the EXPH2 gene. The sEH catalyzes the addition of a water molecule to an epoxide, resulting in the corresponding diol. Early work suggested a role of sEH in detoxifying a wide array of xenobiotic epoxides; however, recent findings clearly implicate the sEH in the regulation of blood pressure, pain, and inflammation through ...

Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a bifunctional enzyme with two catalytic domains: a C-terminal epoxide hydrolase domain and an N-terminal phosphatase domain. Epidemiology and animal studies have attributed a variety of cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory effects to the C-terminal epoxide hydrolase domain. The recent association of sEH with cholesterol-related disorders, peroxisome prolifera...

Hepoxilins are lipid signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid through the 12-lipoxygenase pathway. These trans-epoxy hydroxy eicosanoids play a role in a variety of physiological processes, including inflammation, neurotransmission, and formation of skin barrier function. Mammalian hepoxilin hydrolase, partly purified from rat liver, has earlier been reported to degrade hepoxilins to t...

Microsomal epoxide hydrolase, a major antigenic marker of putative preneoplastic hepatocytes was studied in hyperplastic liver nodules and in normal liver tissue. Hyperplastic nodules induced by two different protocols contained 2to 3-fold higher specific activities of microsomal epoxide hydrolase than did normal surrounding tissue. However, no increase in cytosolic epoxide hydrolase determined...

A rapid and sensitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for microsomal epoxide hydrolase of rat liver. The assay, which is easily and readily performed, is significantly more sensitive than most enzymatic epoxide hydrolase assays routinely used and electroimmunoassays previously developed. The limit of sensitivity of the ELISA is between 2-5 ng of microsomal epoxi...

DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202100066 The cover picture shows a schematic diagram of liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method for analyzing microsomal and soluble epoxide hydrolase in rat heart, kidney, liver S9 samples. Protein quantification was realized through targeted proteomics the determination trypsin-specific surrogate peptides after digestion. A multiple reaction monitoring po...
