Predicted to enable arachidonate 12(S)-lipoxygenase activity; arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase activity; and linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in cytosol and sarcolemma. Biomarker of congestive heart failure; hypertension; and obesity. Orthologous to human ALOX12 (arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S type). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
