Entrez ID 247
Gene name Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase type B
Gene symbol ALOX15B
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
15-LOX-2
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17p13.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the lipoxygenase family of structurally related nonheme iron dioxygenases involved in the production of fatty acid hydroperoxides. The encoded protein converts arachidonic acid exclusively to 15S-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic a
