15-LOX-2 antibody, ALOX15B antibody, arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase, type B antibody, arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase B antibody, ALOX15B antibody, Alox15b antibody, LOC100525835 antibody
Background
ALOX15B 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.Synonyms: 15-LOX-2, Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase type II
