Omega-hydroxylase that oxidizes medium-chain saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, and which plays a role in fatty acid and steroid metabolism in the eye (PubMed:19661213, PubMed:22772592). Catalyzes the omega-hydroxylation of medium-chain saturated fatty acids such as laurate, myristate and palmitate in an NADPH-dependent pathway. The substrate specificity is higher for myristate > laurate > palmitate (C14>C16>C12) (PubMed:19661213). Acts as a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids hydroxylase by mediating oxidation of docosahexaenoate (DHA) to 22-hydroxydocosahexaenoate (PubMed:22772592). Also produces some 21-hydroxydocosahexaenoate. Also converts eicosapentaenoate (EPA) to 20-hydroxyeicosapentaenoate (20-OH-EPA) (PubMed:22772592).
