Specific Function Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators (PubMed:9305900, PubMed:10965849, PubMed:10625675, PubMed:16143298, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:15558016, PubMed:27435673). Catalyzes the peroxidation of arachidonate and linoleate into (8S)-HPETE and (9S)-HPODE respectively (PubMed:9305900, PubMed:10965849, PubMed:10625675, PubMed:16143298, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:15558016, PubMed:27435673). In addition to generate (8S)-HPETE from free arachidonic acid (AA), may produce other HETE isomers from phospholipid-esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids and minor products derived from (8S)-HPETE itself that may include leukotriene A4 and 8,15-diHPETE (PubMed:16143298, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:27435673). With free arachidonate as substrate, has no detectable 15S-lipoxygenase activity and only displays a 8S-lipoxygenase activity (PubMed:10625675, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:16143298, PubMed:15558016, PubMed:10965849, PubMed:9305900). However may have a 15S-lipoxygenase activity with (8S)-HPETE to produce (8S,15S)-diHPETE and when oxidizes directly arachidonic acid esterified to membrane-bound phospholipids to produce a phospholipid-esterified 15-HpETE (PubMed:27435673, PubMed:16112079, PubMed:16143298). May also catalyze (15S)-HPETE peroxidation to produce 8,15-diHPETE (PubMed:16112079). May play a role in keratinocyte differentiation through activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway (PubMed:10965849).
