In enzymology, an arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :arachidonate + O2 (5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-(15S)-15-hydroperoxyicosa-5,8,11,13-tetraenoate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are arachidonate and O2, whereas its product is (5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-(15S)-15-hydroperoxyicosa-5,8,11,13-tetraenoate. This enzyme participates in arachidonic acid metabolism and linoleic acid metabolism. == Nomenclature == This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases). The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2. The systematic name of this enzyme class is arachidonate:oxygen 15-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 15-lipoxygenase, linoleic acid omega6-lipoxygenase, and omega6 lipoxygenase. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
