Enzym som katalyserar oxideringen av arakidonsyra till hydroperoxiarakidonater (HPETE). Dessa produkter omvandlas sedan snabbt genom peroxidas till hydroxieikosatetraenosyra (HETE). Enzymreaktionens p ositionsspecificitet varierar från vävnad till vävnad. Slutsteget i lipoxigenasprocessen leder till leukotrienerna. EC 1.13.11.-.
Enzymes catalyzing the oxidation of arachidonic acid to hydroperoxyarachidonates. These products are then rapidly converted by a peroxidase to hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. The positional specificity of the enzyme reaction varies from tissue to tissue. The final lipoxygenase pathway leads to the leukotrienes. EC 1.13.11.- .
