Preferred Label : allene oxide synthase-lipoxygenase protein, plexaura homomalla;
MeSH note : from Caribbean sea whip coral, Plexaura homomalla; bifunctional enzyme Hydroperoxidehydrase
(EC 4.2.1.92) and Arachidonate 8-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.40)enzymatic activities;
responsible for allene oxide biosynthesis via a two-step reaction which involves conversion
of arachidonic acid to a 8R-hydroperoxide intermediate followed by conversion of the
hydroperoxide to allene oxide; the allene oxide is potential precursor of prostaglandin-like
molecules; amino acid sequence in first source; GenBank AF003692;
