Arachidonate 12-Lipoxygenase
12-Lipoxygenase | Arachidonic Acid 12-Lipoxygenase | 12 Lipoxygenase | 12-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate | 12-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid | Arachidonate 12 Lipoxygenase | Arachidonic Acid 12 Lipoxygenase
An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 12-hydroperoxyarachidonate (12-HPETE) which is itself rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoate (12-HETE). The 12-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in platelets. EC 1.13.11.31. |
