 Linoleate 11-lipoxygenase

In enzymology, a linoleate 11-lipoxygenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are linoleate and O2, whereas its product is (9Z,12Z)-(11S)-11-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases).
