چکیده
Hugo: ALOX15 Other names: 15-LOX; EC 1.13.11.33; arachidonate omega 6-lipoxygenase; LOG15 Location: 17p13.3 Local order: Genes flanking ALOX15 in centromere to telomere direction on 17p13 are: MYBBP1A 17p13.3 MYB binding protein (P160) 1a, GGT6 17p13.2 homolog of gammaglutamyltransferase 6, LOC124974 17p13.2, thioredoxin 1 pseudogene 4, SMTNL2 17p13.2 smoothelin-like 2, ALOX15 17p13.2 arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (Homo sapiens), PELP1 17p13.2 proline, glutamic acid and leucine rich protein 1, ARRB2 17p13 arrestin, beta 2. Note: Arachidonate 15-Lipoxygenase (15-LOX-1) is one of several LOX isoforms that oxygenates polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as complex substrates such as biomembranes. Its expression is associated with the development of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, asthma, cancer and osteoporosis.

The Arachidonate 15-Lipoxygenase Enzyme Product 15-HETE Is Present in Heart Tissue from Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease and Enhances Clot Formation
Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of death and morbidity and the search for novel therapeutic targets is still required. We have previously shown that the enzyme arachidonate 15 lipoxygenase (ALOX15), which catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to 15-hydroxy eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), is highly expressed in ischemic heart tissue, but its role in the pathogenesis of ischemic h...
متن کاملArachidonate lipoxygenase (ALOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX) polymorphisms and colon cancer risk.
In the human colon, arachidonic acid is metabolized primarily by cyclooxygenase (COX) and arachidonate lipoxygenase (ALOX) to bioactive lipids, which are implicated in colon cancer risk. Several polymorphisms in ALOX and COX genes have been identified, including G-1752A, G-1699A and Glu254Lys in ALOX5; Gln261Arg in ALOX12; Leu237Met and Val481Ile in COX1; and C-645T and Val511Ala in COX2.

متن کاملEnhanced 15-lipoxygenase activity and elevated eicosanoid production in kidney tumor microenvironment contribute to the inflammation and immune suppression
Macrophage infiltration is a hallmark in the majority of solid tumors. Our studies demonstrated that macrophages that infiltrate human renal cells carcinoma (RCC) display markedly enhanced expression and activity of 15-lipoxygenase-2 (15-LOX2). Obtained data suggest that enhanced lipoxygenase activity in tumor-associated macrophages stimulates cancer inflammation and causes immune dysfunction.
متن کاملInvolvement of 15-lipoxygenase in early stages of atherogenesis
The arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase which is expressed in atherosclerotic lesions is implicated in the oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins during atherogenesis. To obtain experimental in vivo evidence for this hypothesis, we analyzed the structure of oxygenated lipids isolated from the aorta of rabbits fed with a cholesterol-rich diet for different time periods and compared the patt...
