Arachidonate 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.

Also Known As:

Arachidonate 15 Lipoxygenase; 15-Lipoxygenase; Arachidonic Acid 15-Lipoxygenase; 15 Lipoxygenase; 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate; 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid; Arachidonic Acid 15 Lipoxygenase; Arachidonate:oxygen 15-oxidoreductase
