In enzymology a linoleate 11-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.45) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionlinoleate + O2 (9Z12Z)-(11S)-11-hydroperoxyoctadeca-912-dienoateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are linoleate and O2 whereas its product is (9Z12Z)-(11S)-11-hydroperoxyoctadeca-912-dienoate.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).
