Summary
This gene encodes a member of the lipoxygenase family of structurally related nonheme iron dioxygenases involved in the production of fatty acid hydroperoxides. The encoded protein converts arachidonic acid exclusively to 15S-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid, while metabolizing linoleic acid less effectively. This gene is located in a cluster of related genes and a pseudogene that spans approximately 100 kilobases on the short arm of chromosome 17. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Biophysicochemical Properties | Kinetic parameters: KM=1100 uM for arachidonate (isoform D at pH 7.4 and 20 degrees Celsius) ; KM=10 uM for linoleate (isoform A at pH 7.4 and 20 degrees Celsius) ; KM=25 uM for arachidonate (isoform A at pH 7.4 and 20 degrees Celsius) ; Vmax=4 umol/min/mg enzyme with arachidonate as substrate (isoform A at pH 7.4 and 20 degrees Celsius) ; Vmax=2 umol/min/mg enzyme with arachidonate as substrate (isoform D at pH 7.4 and 20 degrees Celsius) ; Vmax=4 umol/min/mg enzyme with linoleate as substrate (isoform A at pH 7.4 and 20 degrees Celsius) ; |
Catalytic Activity | Arachidonate + O(2) = (5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-(15S)- 15-hydroperoxyicosa-5,8,11,13-tetraenoate. |
Catalytic Activity | Linoleate + O(2) = (9Z,11E)-13- hydroxyoctadeca-9,11-dienoate. |
Caution | Despite its homology with mouse Alox8 (AC O35936), it seems not to have any 8S-lipoxygenase activity on arachidonate. |
Cofactor | Name=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI |
Domain | The PLAT domain can bind calcium ions; this promotes association with membranes. |
Function | Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators. Converts arachidonic acid to 15S- hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid/(15S)-HPETE. Also acts on linoleic acid to produce 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid/13-HPODE. Has no detectable 8S-lipoxygenase activity but reacts with (8S)- HPETE to produce (8S,15S)-diHPETE. May regulate progression through the cell cycle and cell proliferation. May also regulate cytokine secretion by macrophages and therefore play a role in the immune response. May also regulate macrophage differentiation into proatherogenic foam cells. {ECO |
Induction | Up-regulated by UV-irradiation. |
Pathway | Lipid metabolism; hydroperoxy eicosatetraenoic acid biosynthesis. |
Sequence Caution | Sequence=AAD37786.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence= ; |
