In enzymology an arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.33) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionarachidonate + O2 (5Z8Z11Z13E)-(15S)-15-hydroperoxyicosa-581113-tetraenoateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are arachidonate and O2 whereas its product is (5Z8Z11Z13E)-(15S)-15-hydroperoxyicosa-581113-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).
