Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S-type

ALOX12, Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALOX12 gene. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the ALOX12 gene is located in band 17p13.1. The gene consists of 14 exons with 13 introns and spans approximately 15 kb of DNA Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase introduces a molecular oxygen into the C-12 position of arachidonic acid to produce 12 (S)-hydroperoxy-5, 8, 10, 14-eicosatetraenoic acid. The major pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism in human platelets proceeds via a 12-lipoxygenase enzyme. Expression of the LOG12 gene was detected in human erythroleukemia cells, platelets, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells by reverse transcription-PCR analysis.

Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl and 0.2 mg Na2HPO4.

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

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. Mainly converts arachidonic acid to (12S)- hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid/ (12S)-HPETE but can also metabolize linoleic acid. Has a dual activity since it also converts leukotriene A4/LTA4 into both the bioactive lipoxin A4/LXA4 and lipoxin B4/LXB4. Through the production of specific bioactive lipids like (12S)-HPETE it regulates different biological processes including platelet activation. It also probably positively regulates angiogenesis through regulation of the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor. Plays a role in apoptotic process, promoting the survival of vascular smooth muscle cells for instance. May also play a role in the control of cell migration and proliferation.
