Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators (Probable) (PubMed:10542053, PubMed:10625675, PubMed:12704195, PubMed:17493578, PubMed:18311922, PubMed:24282679, PubMed:24497644, PubMed:32404334, PubMed:9177185). It inserts peroxyl groups at C15 of arachidonate ((5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenoate) producing (15S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoate/(15S)-HPETE (Probable) (PubMed:10625675, PubMed:11956198, PubMed:12704195, PubMed:17493578, PubMed:24282679, PubMed:24497644, PubMed:9177185). Also peroxidizes linoleate ((9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoate) to 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoate/13-HPODE (Probable) (PubMed:10542053, PubMed:27435673). Oxygenates arachidonyl derivatives such as 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) leading to the production and extracellular release of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoyl glycerol (15-HETE-G) that acts as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha agonist (PubMed:11956198, PubMed:17493578, PubMed:18311922). Has the ability to efficiently class-switch ALOX5 pro-inflammatory mediators into anti-inflammatory intermediates (PubMed:27145229). Participates in the sequential oxidations of DHA ((4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosahexaenoate) to generate specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) resolvin D5 ((7S,17S)-diHPDHA), which can actively down-regulate the immune response and have anti-aggregation properties with platelets (PubMed:32404334). In addition to free PUFAs hydrolyzed from phospholipids, it directly oxidizes PUFAs esterified to membrane-bound phospholipids (PubMed:27435673). Has no detectable 8S-lipoxygenase activity on arachidonate but reacts with (8S)-HPETE to produce (8S,15S)-diHPETE (Probable). May regulate progression through the cell cycle and cell proliferation (PubMed:11839751, PubMed:12704195). May also regulate cytokine secretion by macrophages and therefore play a role in the immune response (PubMed:18067895). May also regulate macrophage differentiation into proatherogenic foam cells (PubMed:22912809)

2: Does not convert arachidonic acid to 15S-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid/(15S)-HPETE
