Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent anti-oxidant enzyme to remove lipid hydroperoxides in biological samples.

Allene oxide synthase converts lipoxygenase derived fatty acid hydroperoxides to unstable allene epoxides. In plants, allene oxide is a precursor of jasmonic acid, which is important for growth regulation .

Unit Definition

One unit will cause a change in A₂₃₄nm of 1.0 per minute at pH 7.0 at 25 °C in a 13S-HPOD((13(S)-hydroperoxy-(9Z,11E)-octadecanoic Acid) reduction assay

Physical form

Supplied as a solution in phosphate buffered sale pH 7.2

Application

Allene Oxide Synthase is a potent anti-oxidant enzyme used to remove lipid hydroperoxides in various biological samples. It may also be used to study stress induced gene expression in plants . Product A6481 is from Parthenium argentatumand is supplied as a solution in phosphate buffered saline.
