Catalyzes the regio and stereo-specific incorporation of molecular oxygen into free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating lipid hydroperoxides that can be further reduced to the corresponding hydroxy species (PubMed:17493578, PubMed:18311922, PubMed:1851637, PubMed:32404334, PubMed:8319693, PubMed:8500694). Mainly converts arachidonate ((5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenoate) to the specific bioactive lipid (12S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoate/(12S)-HPETE (PubMed:17493578, PubMed:22984144, PubMed:24282679, PubMed:8319693, PubMed:8500694). Through the production of bioactive lipids like (12S)-HPETE it regulates different biological processes including platelet activation (PubMed:8319693, PubMed:8500694). It can also catalyze the epoxidation of double bonds of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as (14S)-hydroperoxy-docosahexaenoate/(14S)-HPDHA resulting in the formation of (13S,14S)-epoxy-DHA (PubMed:23504711). Furthermore, it may participate in the sequential oxidations of DHA ((4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosahexaenoate) to generate specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) like resolvin D5 ((7S,17S)-diHPDHA) and (7S,14S)-diHPDHA, that actively down-regulate the immune response and have anti-aggregation properties with platelets (PubMed:32404334). An additional function involves a multistep process by which it transforms leukotriene A4/LTA4 into the bioactive lipids lipoxin A4/LXA4 and lipoxin B4/LXB4, both are vasoactive and LXA4 may regulate neutrophil function via occupancy of specific recognition sites (PubMed:8250832). Can also peroxidize linoleate ((9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoate) to (13S)-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoate/ (13S-HPODE) (By similarity). Due to its role in regulating both the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, an angiogenic factor involved in the survival and metastasis of solid tumors) and the expression of integrin beta-1 (known to affect tumor cell migration and proliferation), it can be regarded as protumorigenic (PubMed:16638750, PubMed:22237009, PubMed:9751607). Important for cell survival, as it may play a role not only in proliferation but also in the prevention of apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (PubMed:23578768).

12-Lipoxygenase (12-LOX) also known as ALOX12 is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxygenation of arachidonic acid to produce 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE). It has a molecular mass of approximately 75 kDa. This enzyme is widely expressed in various tissues including platelets lungs and pancreatic tissue. By converting polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic acid into bioactive lipids 12-LOX plays an important role in regulating cellular and physiological functions.
12-LOX influences many cellular processes such as inflammation and thrombosis regulation. It is part of the lipoxygenase pathway synthesizing lipid signaling molecules that modulate immune responses and cellular growth. The enzyme does not form part of a large protein complex but interacts with lipid membranes where it exerts its catalytic function. Through its activity 12-LOX contributes to the production of eicosanoids which are signaling molecules with various physiological roles.
12-LOX is involved in the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway and the eicosanoid signaling pathway. These pathways play roles in inflammation and immune response modulation. It works alongside other related lipoxygenases such as ALOX5 which produce different but related signaling molecules. The interaction between these enzymes helps maintain a balanced production of inflammatory mediators which controls cell proliferation and responses to external stimuli.
Alterations in 12-LOX expression or function associate strongly with cardiovascular diseases and various types of cancers. In cardiovascular disease 12-LOX-derived eicosanoids contribute to the development of atherosclerosis by promoting inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. In cancer the dysregulation of 12-LOX can lead to increased tumor growth and metastasis. These conditions often exhibit altered interactions with proteins such as COX-2 another enzyme involved in eicosanoid production highlighting the role of 12-LOX in complex disease mechanisms.
