Curated comments from UniProt
| Type | Comment |
|---|---|
| developmental stage | Expression is sharply reduced in leaves during leaf senescence. |
| function | 13S-lipoxygenase that can use linolenic acid as substrates. Plant lipoxygenases may be involved in a number of diverse aspects of plant physiology including growth and development, pest resistance, and senescence or responses to wounding. Catalyzes the hydroperoxidation of lipids containing a cis,cis-1,4-pentadiene structure. Required for the wound-induced synthesis of jasmonic acid (JA) in leaves. |
| pathway | Lipid metabolism; oxylipin biosynthesis. |
| similarity | Belongs to the lipoxygenase family. |
| subcellular location | The unprocessed form is cytoplasmic whereas the cleaved form is chloroplastic. |
| tissue specificity | In leaves and inflorescences but not abundant in seeds, roots and stems. |
