Abstract
The present invention provides a lipoxygenase that enables the highly efficient formation of an oxide of a highly unsaturated fatty acid or an oxide of a highly unsaturated fatty acid derivative from a highly unsaturated fatty acid or a highly unsaturated fatty acid derivative. The present invention provides a lipoxygenase that enables the highly efficient formation of 8-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid from arachidonic acid, the highly efficient formation of 8-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid from eicosapentaenoic acid, and the highly efficient formation of 10-hydroxy docosahexaenoic acid from docosahexaenoic acid. Specifically, the present invention provides a polynucleotide that comprises the nucleic acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 and 3, or a homolog thereof, and a polypeptide that comprises the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 and 4, or a homolog thereof. Also provided is a composition that comprises a membrane protein of an organism belonging to the class Malacostraca and is for carrying out a lipoxygenase reaction.
