:

Lipoperoxidase (general)

Description:
Lipoperoxidase, identified by the CAS number 9029-60-1, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the oxidative metabolism of lipids. It is primarily involved in the catalysis of lipid peroxidation, a process where free radicals attack lipids containing carbon-carbon double bonds, leading to the formation of lipid peroxides. This enzyme is typically found in various biological systems, including plants and animal tissues, where it contributes to cellular signaling and defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. Lipoperoxidase exhibits characteristics such as substrate specificity for polyunsaturated fatty acids and the ability to generate reactive oxygen species, which can influence cellular processes. Additionally, it is associated with various physiological and pathological conditions, including inflammation and cancer. The enzyme's activity can be influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of cofactors or inhibitors, making it a subject of interest in both biochemical research and potential therapeutic applications.
