Description
  • The 12-eicosatetraenoic acids: 12-hydroperoxy-eicosatetraenoate (12-HpETE), 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoate (12-HETE) and 12-oxo-eicosatetraenoate (12-oxoETE) are formed after the initial step of arachidonate oxidation by the arachidonate 12 and 15 lipoxygenases (ALOX12, ALOX12B and ALOX15 respectively). This part of the pathway is bifurcated at the level of 12S-hydroperoxy-eicosatetraenoate (12S-HpETE), which can either be reduced to 12S-hydro-eicosatetraenoate (12S-HETE) or converted to hepoxilins (Buczynski et al. 2009, Vance & Vance 2008).
