Background
Synonyms:ALOX15B,Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase B,15-LOX-B,15-LOX-2,Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase type II,Linoleate 13-lipoxygenase 15-Lob Background:In humans, there are 6 functional lipoxygenases genes. Two of them encode for arachidonic acid 12-lipoxygenating(ALOX12, ALOX12B) and two for 15-lipoxygenating enzymes(ALOX15, ALOX15B). ALOX15B has been described as the most abundant 15-lipoxygenating enzyme species in human carotid atherosclerotic lesions and to be associated with cerebrovascular symptoms.(PMID:24373925). ALOX15B has 4 isoforms produced by alternative splicing with the MW of 76, 67, 69 and 73 kDa.
