From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linolenate 9R-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.61, NspLOX, (9R)-LOX, linoleate 9R-dioxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name alpha-linolenate:oxygen (9R)-oxidoreductase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

alpha-linolenate + O2 (9R,10E,12Z,15Z)-9-hydroperoxyoctadeca-10,12,15-trienoate
