Application

Lipoxidase, or lipoxygenase, from Glycine max (soybean) has been used for the modification of low density lipoprotein, isolated from human plasma.
The soybean enzyme will use arachidonic acid as a substrate, with ~ 15% of the activity indicated using linoleic acid as the substrate; the product of arachidonic acid oxidation is 12- or 15-hydroperoxyarachidonic acid (12-HPETE or 15-HPETE).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Catalyzes the hydroperoxidation of lipids containing a cis,cis-1,4-pentadiene structure.

Physical form

Suspension in 2.3 M (NH4)2SO4 solution, pH approx. 6.0

Preparation Note

Prepared by ion exchange chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography.

Analysis Note

Protein determined by biuret.

Other Notes

One unit will cause an increase in A234 of 0.001 per min at pH 9.0 at 25 °C when linoleic acid is the substrate in 3.0 ml volume (1 cm light path). One A234 unit is equivalent to the oxidation of 0.12 μmole of linoleic acid.
