Human ALOX15B / 15 Lipoxygenase 2 Protein

ALOX15B

Catalog Number P14564-HNCB
Organism Species Human
Host Baculovirus-Insect Cells
Synonyms ALOX15B
Molecular Weight The secreted recombinant human ALOX15B consists of 678 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 76 KDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 62-66 KDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N Gly

Background ALOX15B is a member of the lipoxygenase family of structurally related nonheme iron dioxygenases involved in the production of fatty acid hydroperoxides. ALOX15B converts arachidonic acid exclusively to 15S-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid, while metabolizing linoleic acid less effectively. ALOX15B gene is located in a cluster of related genes and a pseudogene that spans approximately 100 kilobases on the short arm of chromosome 17. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
