Lipoxidase from Glycine max (soybean), Type I-B, lyophilized powder, >=50,000 units/mg solid

Lipoxidase from Glycine max (soybean), Type I-B, lyophilized powder, >=50,000 units/mg solid

Application

Lipoxidase from Glycine max (soybean) has been used:to study the effects of 2-(?-D-glucopyranosyl)methyl-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-6-ol(TMG) on oxidation of lipoproteinsas a representative enzyme for lipoxygenases in microplate assay platform to screen for enzymes degrading wood extractivesas a positive control in lipoxygenase inhibitory activity assay

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.

Lipoxidases are deactivated by heat treatment near 100°C for 5 to 10 minutes. Studies show that gamma irradiation treatment decreases the specific activity of soybean lipoxygenases. These enzymes are used in studies related to asthma and allergies. Lipoxidases are applicable for industrial bio-transformations such as in the production of aroma fine chemicals.

General description

Lipoxidases (LOXs) are nonheme iron proteins. It is widely present in plants, some microorganisms, and animals. They are categorized as LOX-1, LOX-2, and LOX-3 considering pH and optimum temperature, substrate specificity, and level of inhibition by different agents.

Packaging

15000000, 75000000, 150000000 units in poly bottle

Physical form

Contains stabilizer and NaCl

Unit Definition

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.
