An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 15-hydroperoxyarachidonate (15-HPETE) which is rapidly converted to 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoate (15-HETE). The 15-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in NEUTROPHILS and LYMPHOCYTES.
Synonyms: Arachidonic Acid 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate 15-Lipoxygenase, 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate, Arachidonic Acid 15 Lipoxygenase, 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate:oxygen 15-oxidoreductase, Arachidonate 15 Lipoxygenase, 15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid, 15 Lipoxygenase, EC 1.13.11.33
