Summary
Enables arachidonate 12(S)-lipoxygenase activity and arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of actin filament polymerization. Acts upstream of or within bone mineralization. Located in cytosol and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver; nose; peritoneal fluid; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human ALOX15 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
