Arachidonate 15-Lipoxygenase
15-Lipoxygenase | Arachidonic Acid 15-Lipoxygenase | 15 Lipoxygenase | 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate | 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid | Arachidonate 15 Lipoxygenase | Arachidonic Acid 15 Lipoxygenase
An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 15-hydroperoxyarachidonate (15-HPETE) which is rapidly converted to 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoate (15-HETE). The 15-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in neutrophils and lymphocytes. EC 1.13.11.33. |
