Description
Potent anti-oxidant enzyme to remove lipid hydroperoxides in biological samples. Allene oxide synthase converts lipoxygenase derived fatty acid hydroperoxides to unstable allene epoxides. In plants, allene oxide is a precursor of jasmonic acid, which is important for growth regulation.
Abbr
AOS, Recombinant (Parthenium argentatum)
Species
Parthenium argentatum
Applications
Allene Oxide Synthase is a potent anti-oxidant enzyme used to remove lipid hydroperoxides in various biological samples. It may also be used to study stress induced gene expression in plants.
