ALOX12, Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALOX12 gene. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the ALOX12 gene is located in band 17p13.1. The gene consists of 14 exons with 13 introns and spans approximately 15 kb of DNA Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase introduces a molecular oxygen into the C-12 position of arachidonic acid to produce 12(S)-hydroperoxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid. The major pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism in human platelets proceeds via a 12-lipoxygenase enzyme. Expression of the LOG12 gene was detected in human erythroleukemia cells, platelets, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells by reverse transcription-PCR analysis.
