Annotation score:5 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators (PubMed:9305900, PubMed:10965849, PubMed:10625675, PubMed:16143298, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:15558016, PubMed:27435673).

Catalyzes the peroxidation of arachidonate and linoleate into (8S)-HPETE and (9S)-HPODE respectively (PubMed:9305900, PubMed:10965849, PubMed:10625675, PubMed:16143298, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:15558016, PubMed:27435673).

In addition to generate (8S)-HPETE from free arachidonic acid (AA), may produce other HETE isomers from phospholipid-esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids and minor products derived from (8S)-HPETE itself that may include leukotriene A4 and 8,15-diHPETE (PubMed:16143298, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:27435673).

With free arachidonate as substrate, has no detectable 15S-lipoxygenase activity and only displays a 8S-lipoxygenase activity (PubMed:10625675, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:16143298, PubMed:15558016, PubMed:10965849, PubMed:9305900).

However may have a 15S-lipoxygenase activity with (8S)-HPETE to produce (8S,15S)-diHPETE and when oxidizes directly arachidonic acid esterified to membrane-bound phospholipids to produce a phospholipid-esterified 15-HpETE (PubMed:27435673, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:16143298).

May also catalyze (15S)-HPETE peroxidation to produce 8,15-diHPETE (PubMed:16112079).

May play a role in keratinocyte differentiation through activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway (PubMed:10965849).

    <p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1. The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard. </p> <p class="publication">Press W.H., Flannery B.P., Teukolsky S.A. and Vetterling W.T.<br /> <strong>Cyclic redundancy and other checksums</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.nrbook.com/b/bookcpdf.php">Numerical recipes in C 2nd ed., pp896-902, Cambridge University Press (1993)</a>)</p> Checksum:i78DB1AC9C2F68399
