Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of Alox12l, an alias of the protein, arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase. The official gene symbol is ALOX15. The kits can detect several species variants of the protein, including: human, rat, bovine, and other mammalian. The protein, with a mass of 74.8 kDa and length of 662 residues, is reported to be cytoplasmic and membrane-associated. It is a member of the Lipoxygenase family and may be known by other names, including: 15-LOX, arachidonate omega-6 lipoxygenase, 15-lipoxygenase type 1, 15-lipooxygenase-1, 15-LOX type 1, and 12/15-lipoxygenase, and LOG15.
