NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the conversion of arachidonic acid to 12R-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid. Mutations in this gene can prevent the formation of the epidermal permeability barrier and cause an ichthyosiform phenotype. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
Uniprot Description
Function: Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators. Mainly converts arachidonic acid to (12R)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid/(12R)-HPETE and minor stereoisomers. In the skin, acts upstream of ALOXE3 on the lineolate moiety of esterified omega-hydroxyacyl-sphingosine (EOS) ceramides to produce an epoxy-ketone derivative, a crucial step in the conjugation of omega-hydroxyceramide to membrane proteins. Therefore plays a crucial role in the synthesis of corneocytes lipid envelope and the establishment of the skin barrier to water loss. May also play a role in the regulation of the expression of airway mucins. Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6
Catalytic activity: Arachidonate + O2 = (5Z,8Z,10E,14Z)-(12R)-12-hydroperoxyicosa-5,8,10,14-tetraenoate. Ref.3
Cofactor: Binds 1 iron ion per subunit
By similarity.
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; hydroperoxy eicosatetraenoic acid biosynthesis. Ref.3 Ref.5Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism. Ref.3 Ref.5
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
By similarity.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in skin epidermis and other stratified epithelia including tongue and forestomach. Low levels of expression are found in trachea, brain and lung. Not expressed in intestine, liver, kidney, adipose tissue, muscle or hematopoietic cells. Ref.1
Developmental stage: In the embryo, expression begins at day 15.5. Ref.2
Disruption phenotype: Mice die within 3 to 5 hours after birth due to defective skin barrier function loosing around 30% of body weight within 3 hours. Dehydration through the skin is increased 8 folds. The outside-in barrier acquisition is also affected, the skin remaining permeable at E18.5 while it is impermeable in wild-type mice. The stratum corneum is more tightly packed while other layers are unaffected. Processing of filaggrin/FG is aberrant and the skin displays structural abnormalities. The cornified envelope is more fragile and the ceramide composition of the epidermis is altered. Ref.4 Ref.6
Miscellaneous: Mummy, a recessive ethylnitrosurea-induced mutant has a nonsense mutation in the catalytic domain of Lox12b, resulting in truncation of the protein by 68 amino-acids. The affected mice are born with red, shiny skin that dessicates and appears scaly. They probably die of dehydration like mice with targeted disruption of the gene (Ref.5).
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the lipoxygenase family.Contains 1 lipoxygenase domain.Contains 1 PLAT domain.

Product Notes
The ALOX12B alox12b (Catalog #AAA3223749) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The ALOX12B Antibody - C-terminal region reacts with Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ALOX12B can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ALOX12B alox12b for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: GLTTLQTYMD TLPDVKTTCI VLLVLWTLCR EPDDRRPLGH FPDIHFVEEG. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ALOX12B, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
