Abstract excerpt
Among lipoxygenases ALOX15 orthologs are somewhat peculiar because of their capability of oxygenating polyenoic fatty acids even if they are incorporated in complex lipid-protein assemblies. ALOX15 orthologs of different species have been characterized before, but little is known about the corresponding rat enzyme. Since rats are frequently employed as models in biomedical research we expressed rat Alox15 as...
