Study demonstrated that the epidermal-type lipoxygenase, eLOX3 (encoded by its gene, Aloxe3) is a fasting-responsive hepatocyte effector that is sufficient to attenuate insulin resistance, weight gain, and hepatic fat deposition in dietary and genetically obese models, in part by activating hepatic PPARgamma.
Title: Hepatocyte ALOXE3 is induced during adaptive fasting and enhances insulin sensitivity by activating hepatic PPARγ.
Loss-of-function mutations in the LOX genes ALOX12B and ALOXE3 have been found to represent the second most common cause of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis. [review]
Title: The role of lipoxygenases in epidermis.
Aloxe3 deficiency in mice resulted in early postnatal death. Skin lipid analysis demonstrated that the severity of barrier failure is related to the loss of covalently bound ceramides in both ALOX12B- and Aloxe3-null mice.
Title: Aloxe3 knockout mice reveal a function of epidermal lipoxygenase-3 as hepoxilin synthase and its pivotal role in barrier formation.
expression of eLOX3 or addition of eLOX3 products stimulated adipogenesis under conditions that normally require an exogenous PPAR gamma ligand for differentiation
Title: Epidermis-type lipoxygenase 3 regulates adipocyte differentiation and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma activity.
findings suggest that endogenous PPARgamma ligand(s) promoting adipocyte differentiation are generated via a baicalein-sensitive pathway involving the novel eLOX-3
Title: Adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes is dependent on lipoxygenase activity during the initial stages of the differentiation process.
The 12R-LOX-eLOX-3 pathway plays a key role in the process of epidermal barrier acquisition by affecting lipid metabolism, as well as protein processing.
Title: 12R-lipoxygenase deficiency disrupts epidermal barrier function.
The substrate preference of mouse eLOX3 and the unique occurrence of an 8S-LOX enzyme in mouse skin point to a potential LOX pathway for the production of epoxyalcohol in murine epidermal differentiation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
