Therapeutic Target Details

Target ID: T45
Target Name: Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase
Synonyms: 12LO; 12S-lipoxygenase; 12S-LOX; ALOX12; Arachidonate (12S)-lipoxygenase; Arachidonate (15S)-lipoxygenase; Linoleate (13S)-lipoxygenase; Lipoxin synthase 12-LO; LOG12; Platelet-type lipoxygenase 12; Polyunsaturated fatty acid lipoxygenase ALOX12
GENE: ALOX12
Action: inhibitor
Class: Enzyme
UniProtKB ID:P18054
Entry Name: LOX12_HUMAN
Related Drugs: IMA-1
Mechanism: ALOX12 was shown to induce NASH by directly targeting acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) via a lysosomal degradation mechanism. Overall, our findings reveal a key molecular driver of NASH pathogenesis and suggest that ALOX12-ACC1 interaction may be a therapeutic target in NASH.
