Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.31) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionarachidonate + O2 (5Z8Z10E14Z)-(12S)-12-hydroperoxyicosa-581014-tetraenoateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are arachidonate and oxygen whereas its product is (5Z8Z10E14Z)-(12S)-12-hydroperoxyicosa-581014-tetraenoate.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases).
