Catalyzes the regio and stereo-specific incorporation of a single molecule of dioxygen into free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating lipid hydroperoxides that can be further reduced to the corresponding hydroxy species (PubMed:16129665). Does not convert arachidonic acid to (12R)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid/(12R)-HPETE (PubMed:10100631, PubMed:11256953). 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 (PubMed:17403930, PubMed:17429434, PubMed:21558561). May also play a role in the regulation of the expression of airway mucins (By similarity). {By SimilarityUniProtKB:O75342, Experimental EvidencePubMed:10100631, Experimental EvidencePubMed:11256953, Experimental EvidencePubMed:16129665, Experimental EvidencePubMed:17403930, Experimental EvidencePubMed:17429434, Experimental EvidencePubMed:21558561}. | Assigned Ontology terms |
