Description
This volume provides an overview of the nature, modes of biosynthesis and functions of eicosanoids and related compounds in plants and animals. It is divided into two mains sections covering biochemical and functional aspects. It should be of interest to researchers in diverse fields.
Table of Contents
- Part 1 Enzymes and factors involved in the biosynthesis of eicosanoids: eicosanoids and related compounds - structures, nomenclature and biosynthetic pathways
- cyclooxygenases (prostaglandin H synthases) - structure and evolutionary aspects
- mammalian lipoxygenases - structure, function and evolutionary aspects
- plant lipoxygenase - structure and mechanism
- FLAP - structure, function and evolutionary aspects
- oxylipin production and action in fungi and related organisms. Part 2 Functional aspects: basic functions of lipoxygenases and their products in higher plants
