Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) (Gulliksson et al. 2007, Kuhn et al. 1993, Izumi et al. 1991) and arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase B (ALOX15B) (Tang et al. 2002, Wecksler et al. 2008) are lipid peroxidising enzymes mainly expressed in airway epithelial cells, eosinophils, reticulocytes and in macrophages. They insert molecular oxygen at C-6 from the omega-end of arachidonic acid with formation of the unstable intermediate 15S-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15S-HpETE) which can be further converted, enzymatically or non-enzymatically, to 15S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15S-HETE).
