This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and hydroxylates medium-chain fatty acids such as laurate and myristate. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene.

A study in human cardiac tissue demonstrated that the CYP4A11 (CYP4A11) is a direct target of miR-3185, with its mRNA and protein levels significantly reduced in cases of mechanical asphyxia compared to other causes of death such as craniocerebral injury, hemorrhagic shock, sudden cardiac death, and poisoning [Han et al. DOI:10.1016/j.forsciint.2020.110293]. Separately, in human circulating leukocytes, the expression of the CYP4A11 was significantly altered following major blunt trauma and its level was correlated with the Injury Severity Score, indicating its role in the pathophysiological response to traumatic injury [Brandfellner et al. DOI:10.1097/SHK.0b013e31829de02f].
