| form | ammonium sulfate suspension |
| mol wt | 94 kDa |
| Quality Level | 200 ![]() |
| specific activity | 500,000-1,000,000 units/m |
| storage temp. | 2-8°C |
| type | Type V |
| Analysis Note: | Protein determined by biuret. |
| Application: | Lipoxidase, or lipoxygenase, from Glycine max (soybean) has been used for the modification of low density lipoprotein, isolated from human plasma. |
| Application: | The soybean enzyme will use arachidonic acid as a substrate, with ~ 15% of the activity indicated using linoleic acid as the substrate; the product of arachidonic acid oxidation is 12- or 15-hydroperoxyarachidonic acid (12-HPETE or 15-HPETE). |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Catalyzes the hydroperoxidation of lipids containing a cis,cis-1,4-pentadiene structure. |
| Other Notes: | One unit will cause an increase in A234 of 0.001 per min at pH 9.0 at 25 °C when linoleic acid is the substrate in 3.0 ml volume (1 cm light path). One A234 unit is equivalent to the oxidation of 0.12 μmole of linoleic acid. |
| Physical form: | Suspension in 2.3 M (NH4)2SO4 solution, pH approx. 6.0 |
| Preparation Note: | Prepared by ion exchange chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. |
