| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables arachidonate 12(S)-lipoxygenase activity and arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of actin filament polymerization. Acts upstream of or within bone mineralization. Located in cytosol and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver; nose; peritoneal fluid; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human ALOX15 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show altered arachidonic acid metabolism and develop a myeloproliferative disorder associated with splenomegaly, abnormal splenic architecture, leukocystosis, basophilia, abnormal lymph node morphology, dermatitis, and premature death likely due to anemia.
