15-LOX-1 (ALOX15) is the main enzyme for metabolizing linoleic acid to 13-S-HODE in colon cells; NSAIDs increase 15-LOX-1 protein expression and enzymatic activity, and 13-S-HODE is the proximate inducer of apoptosis — inhibiting 15-LOX-1 blocks NSAID-induced apoptosis, which is restored by exogenous 13-S-HODE. |

The reaction specificity of mammalian ALOX15 evolved during late primate evolution: lower primates express 12-lipoxygenating ALOX15 orthologs, while higher primates (including humans) express 15-lipoxygenating enzymes; this switch optimizes lipoxin synthase activity, with 15-lipoxygenating variants having >5-fold higher lipoxin synthase activity. QM/MM calculations show lower energy barriers for C13-hydrogen abstraction (15-lipoxygenation) in rabbit ALOX15. |
