Broader concept

Entry terms

  • 15 Lipoxygenase
  • 15-Lipoxygenase
  • 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid
  • Arachidonic Acid 15 Lipoxygenase
  • Arachidonic Acid 15-Lipoxygenase

Scope note

  • 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.

History note

  • 91(87); was see under ARACHIDONATE LIPOXYGENASES 1987-90
