Lipoxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to form hydroperoxides. It plays a role in lipid metabolism and is involved in the production of signaling molecules such as leukotrienes and lipoxins. The enzyme acts by abstracting a hydrogen atom from a polyunsaturated fatty acid, initiating a chain reaction that leads to the formation of lipid hydroperoxides. This process is important for the regulation of inflammation and immune responses. Lipoxidase is also involved in the biosynthesis of various bioactive compounds, contributing to the modulation of cellular signaling pathways. Its mechanism of action at the molecular level involves the specific oxidation of fatty acids, leading to the generation of lipid-derived signaling molecules.
