• Kelavkar and Badr (1999) described experiments yielding data that supported the hypothesis that loss of the TP53 gene, or gain-of-function activities resulting from the expression of its mutant forms, regulates ALOX15 promoter activity in human and in mouse, albeit in directionally opposite manners. (wikipedia.org)
  • Kelavkar and Badr (1999) referred to this as evidence that 15-lipoxygenase is a mutator gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • In humans, it is encoded by the ALOX15 gene located on chromosome 17p13.3. (wikipedia.org)

  • 1992) demonstrated that genes for 12-lipoxygenase and 15-lipoxygenase are located on human chromosome 17, whereas the most unrelated lipoxygenase (5-lipoxygenase) was mapped to chromosome 10. (wikipedia.org)
  • In spite of biological plausibility, evidence from human population-based studies on the associations of OS biomarker concentrations with DNA methylation of OS-related genes is sparse and the potential impact of OS-related DNA methylation alteration on cancer development is even sparser [ 15 , 16 ].

  • and mouse, rat, and rabbit rodent orthologs of human ALOX15, which share 74-81% amino acid identity with the human enzyme, are commonly termed Alox15, 12/15-lipoxygenase, 12/15-LOX, or 12/15-LO). (wikipedia.org)

  • this, along with their different principal product formation (e.g. 12-HETE rather than 15-HETE) has made the findings of Alox15 functions in rat, mouse, or rabbit models difficult to extrapolate to the function of ALOX15 in humans. (wikipedia.org)
  • Many of the latter Alox15 enzymes nonetheless possess predominantly or exclusively 12-lipoxygenase rather than 15-lipoxygenase activity. (wikipedia.org)
