Summary
Enables arachidonate 12(S)-lipoxygenase activity and linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activity. Involved in establishment of skin barrier; fatty acid metabolic process; and negative regulation of platelet aggregation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; liver left lobe; and liver right lobe. Orthologous to human ALOX12 (arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S type).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
