Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenases

Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002
Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase introduces a molecular oxygen at carbon 12 of arachidonic acid to generate a 12-hydroperoxy derivative. The enzymes generate 12-hydroperoxy derivatives with either S- or R-configurations. There are three isoforms of 12S-lipoxygenases named after the cells where they were first identified; platelet, leukocyte and epidermis ...

Arachidonate 12-Lipoxygenase Isozymes

1999
A lipoxygenase is an enzyme which incorporates one molecule of oxygen into arachidonic acid or other polyunsaturated fatty acids producing hydroperoxy acids with a conjugated diene system. Enzymes oxygenating at the positions 5, 8, 12 and 15 of arachidonic acid and producing the corresponding hydroperoxy eicosatetraenoic acid (HpETE) have been isolated

Mammalian Arachidonate 12-Lipoxygenases

1997
Since arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase was earlier found in platelets as the first mammalian lipoxygenase, the enzyme has been found in a variety of tissues of a number of animal species. On the basis of our studies in the last decade, we have demonstrated that there are two isoforms of 12-lipoxygenase (1).

Localization of arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase in canine brain tissues

Neuroscience Research Supplements, 1991
Abstract: The cytosol fraction from a thoroughly imgated canine cerebrum was subjected to immunoaffinity chromatography using a monoclonal antibody against porcine leukocyte 12‐lipoxygenase. Arachidonate 12‐lipoxygenase eluted from the column with some retardation. The enzyme, with a specific activity of 9 nmol/min/mg of protein, converted arachidonic

Molecular cloning and expression of human arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1990
The cDNA for a 12-lipoxygenase was isolated from cDNA library of human erythroleukemia cells. The cDNA had an open reading frame encoding 663 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 75,513. The deduced amino acid sequence of human 12-lipoxygenase exhibited 41.5%, 65.3% and 65.4% identity with human 5-lipoxygenase, human 15-lipoxygenase and ...

Platelet-Type Arachidonate 12-Lipoxygenase

1996
In human platelets arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by the catalysis of phosopholipase A2, and then oxygenated either by cyclooxygenase or by 12-lipoxygenase. It is well known that the cyclooxygenase pathway leads to the synthesis of pro-aggregatory and vasoconstrictive thromboxane A2.
