Arachidonate 8-lipoxygenase

Field	Value
Name	arachidonate 8-lipoxygenase
EC_number	1.13.11.40
CAS_number	100900-72-9
GO_code	0047677

Arachidonate 8-lipoxygenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:arachidonate + O2 \rightleftharpoons (5Z,9E,11Z,14Z)-(8R)-8-hydroperoxyicosa-5,9,11,14-tetraenoate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are arachidonate and oxygen, whereas its product is (5Z,9E,11Z,14Z)-(8R)-8-hydroperoxyicosa-5,9,11,14-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). The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2. The systematic name of this enzyme class is arachidonate:oxygen 8-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 8-lipoxygenase, and 8(R)-lipoxygenase. This enzyme participates in arachidonic acid metabolism.
