Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Enzymatic Activity:** ALOX15 is a non-heme iron-dependent dioxygenase that catalyzes the hydroperoxidation of arachidonic acid, resulting in the production of 15-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-ETE) and other SPMs. 2. **Gene Expression:** The ALOX15 gene is widely expressed in various tissues, including the retina, blood vessels, trachea, and colon, suggesting its involvement in multiple physiological processes. 3. **Protein Structure:** The ALOX15 protein consists of 12 transmembrane domains, which facilitate its interaction with membrane lipids and other proteins. 4. **Regulatory Mechanisms:** ALOX15 expression is modulated by various signaling pathways, including interleukin-13 (IL-13) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) signaling, highlighting its role in immune system regulation. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Arachidonic Acid Metabolism:** ALOX15 is a key enzyme in the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, which produces SPMs that regulate inflammation and tissue repair. 2. **Inflammatory Response:** ALOX15-derived SPMs, such as protectins and resolvins, modulate the inflammatory response by promoting the resolution of inflammation and tissue repair. 3. **Immune System Regulation:** ALOX15 expression is modulated by IL-13 and IL-4 signaling, suggesting its role in regulating immune system responses, including the positive regulation of adaptive immune responses. 4. **Wound Healing:** ALOX15-derived SPMs play a crucial role in wound healing by promoting the resolution of inflammation and tissue repair. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Inflammatory Diseases:** ALOX15-derived SPMs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. 2. **Cancer:** ALOX15 expression has been linked to cancer progression and metastasis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target. 3. **Neurological Disorders:** ALOX15-derived SPMs have been implicated in neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets. 4. **Regenerative Medicine:** ALOX15-derived SPMs have been shown to promote tissue repair and regeneration, making them potential therapeutic agents for regenerative medicine applications. In conclusion, the ALOX15 gene plays a crucial role in the production of SPMs that regulate inflammation and tissue repair. Its involvement in multiple physiological and pathological processes highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for various diseases. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms of ALOX15 and its role in human disease.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
