Gene Information

human ... ALOX15(246)

General description

The gene arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) is mapped to human chromosome 17p13. It is mainly present in the epithelial cells in the upper airways, reticulocytes, eosinophils and macrophages. ALOX15 belongs to the dioxygenases family. It is an IL-4 (interleukin 4)/IL-13 target gene.

Immunogen

ALOX15 (AAH29032, 1 a.a. ~ 662 a.a) full-length recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ALOX15 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase) is involved in homeostatic as well as pathological responses. ALOX15 is responsible for the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids (at the 15 position) to active hydroperoxy and epoxy metabolites. It is also responsible for the conversion of linoleic acid to anti-tumor 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid. ALOX15 is required for IL-4 (interleukin-4)/IL-13-mediated macrophage polarization. In mice, it is a negative regulator of bone mineral density. It is also involved in fatty acid metabolism. It controls MAPK (mitogen activated protein kinase) signaling in human airway epithelial cells using phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein.

Macrophages respond to the Th2 cytokine IL-4 with elevated expression of arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15). Although IL-4 signaling elicits anti-inflammatory responses, 15-lipoxygenase may either support or inhibit inflammatory processes in a context-dependent manner. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic sensor/regulator
