ALOX12B

Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12R type, also known as ALOX12B, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the ALOX12B is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the conversion of is_associated_with::arachidonic acid to 12R-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid.

Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene are associated with nonbullous is_associated_with::congenital ichthyosiform erythrodema.
