| General Information | Comment | Organism |

| malfunction | when 15-LOX-1 activity is knocked down by siRNA, the induction of MIP-1alpha, RANTES, and IP-10 is significantly attenuated | Homo sapiens |
| physiological function | 15-LOX-1 induces chemokine expression in A549 cells. Increased expression and activity of 15-LOX-1 in lung epithelial cells is a proinflammatory event in the pathogenesis of asthma and other inflammatory lung disorders. 15-LOX-1 overexpression results in upregulation of MIP-1alpha, MIP11beta, and RANTES, in increased migration of immature dendritic cells and of activated T cells and increases chemotaxis of mast cells. 15-LOX-1 ectopic expression upregulates NF-kappaB activity | Homo sapiens |
