lipoxin A4 synthase |
<enzyme> An aspect of platelet 12-lipoxygenase Registry number: EC 1.13.11.- (26 Jun 1999) |

lipoxygenase |
<enzyme> Enzyme that catalyses the oxidative conversion of arachidonic acid to the hydroxyeicosenoic acid (HETE) structure in the synthesis of leucotrienes. (18 Nov 1997) |
lipoxygenase inhibitors |
Compounds or agents that combine with lipoxygenase and thereby prevent its substrate-enzyme combination with arachidonic acid and the formation of the eicosanoid products hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and various leukotrienes. (12 Dec 1998) |
lipoyl |
The acyl radical of lipoic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
lipoyl dehydrogenase |
<enzyme> An enzyme oxidizing dihydrolipoamide at the expense of NAD+; completes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate; a part of several enzyme complexes (e.g., alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex). Decreased activity leads to neuronal loss in brain resulting in psychomotor retardation. Synonym: coenzyme factor, lipoamide dehydrogenase, lipoamide reductase (NADH), lipoyl dehydrogenase.
