Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12R type, also known as ALOX12B, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the ALOX12B gene.[1][2][3]

Function

This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the conversion of arachidonic acid to 12R-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid.[2][3]

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene are associated with nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythrodema.[4][5]
