9029-60-1 Usage
Description
Lipoxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of fatty acids, specifically at the carbon-13 position. It has been identified as a potent 13S-lipoxygenase (LOXPsa1; linoleate:oxygen 13-oxidoreductase, EC 1.13.11.12) and has been biochemically characterized and purified from various sources, including the edible basidiomycete Pleurotus sapidus.
Uses
Used in Flavor Compound Synthesis:
Lipoxidase is used as a biocatalyst for the transformation of (+)-valencene to natural (+)-nootkatone, a highly sought-after flavor compound. The enzyme has been heterologously expressed in the cytosol and periplasm of Escherichia coli for ongoing research.
Used in Biochemistry Research:
Lipoxidase from Glycine max (soybean) is used as a representative enzyme for lipoxygenases in microplate assay platforms to study the effects of compounds on the oxidation of lipoproteins, such as 2-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)methyl-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-6-ol (TMG).
Used in Enzyme Screening:
Lipoxidase from Glycine max (soybean) is used as a positive control in lipoxygenase inhibitory activity assays to screen for enzymes degrading wood extractives.
Used in Medical Applications:
Lipoxidase from Glycine max (soybean) has been used for the modification of low-density lipoprotein, isolated from human plasma, to study its effects on various biological processes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Catalyzes the hydroperoxidation of lipids containing a cis,cis-1,4-pentadiene structure.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 9029-60-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 9,0,2 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 9029-60:
(6*9)+(5*0)+(4*2)+(3*9)+(2*6)+(1*0)=101
101 % 10 = 1
So 9029-60-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
