Ett enzym som katalyserar oxidationen av arakidonsyra till 12-hydroperoxyarakidonat (12-HPETE), som i sin tur genom peroxidas snabbt omvandlas till 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eikosatetraenoat (12-HETE). 12- hydroperoxiderna bildas företrädesvis i blodplättarna. EC 1.13.11.31.
An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 12-hydroperoxyarachidonate (12-HPETE) which is itself rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoate (12-HETE). The 12-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in PLATELETS.
