Facts about Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S-type.
Has a dual activity since it also converts leukotriene A4/LTA4 into the bioactive lipoxin A4/LXA4 and lipoxin B4/LXB4. Through the production of specific bioactive lipids like (12S)-HPETE it modulates distinct biological processes including platelet activation.
