General description

15(S)-HETE is a product of the arachidonic acid pathway. It is synthesized by the human lungs and airway epithelial cells. 15(S)-HETE is a potent mucosecretagogue in human airways. It is a metabolite of 15-lipoxygenase. 15(S)-HETE is an endogenous ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ).

Biochem/physiol Actions

15(S)-HETE plays a role in various biological actions. It may play a role in pathogenesis and prevention of airway inflammatory disorders. 15(S)-HETE is involved in inhibiting cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in various human cancers.

15-S-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE) and 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13(S)-HODE), both of which are metabolites of 15-lipoxygenases (15-LOXs), are endogenous ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). The activation of PPARgamma inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in some cancers. The role of
