Molecular classification
Enzyme, Oxidase, Monooxygenase
01

Overview

Eicosanoid pathway enzymes are a group of enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of eicosanoids, which are bioactive lipid mediators derived from the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), primarily arachidonic acid. Eicosanoids play crucial roles in inflammation, vascular homeostasis, pain perception, immune responses, and various physiological and pathological processes. The main enzyme families involved are Cyclooxygenases (COX), Lipoxygenases (LOX), and Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenases (CYP).
