Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on single donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen, incorporation of two atoms of oxygen. Predicted to be involved in arachidonate metabolic process; lipid oxidation; and lipoxygenase pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 1; autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 2; and autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 3. Orthologous to several human genes including ALOX15B (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase type B) and ALOXE3 (arachidonate epidermal lipoxygenase 3).
