15-hydroxyicosatetraenoate dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a 15-hydroxyicosatetraenoate dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(15S)-15-hydroxy-5,8,11-cis-13-trans-icosatetraenoate + NAD(P)+ 15-oxo-5,8,11-cis-13-trans-icosatetraenoate + NAD(P)H + H<sup>+</sup>

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 15-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid (i.e. 15(S)-15-hydroxy-5,8,11-cis-13-trans-icosatetraenoate), NAD<sup>+</sup>, and NADP<sup>+</sup>, whereas its 4 products are 15-oxo-5,8,11-cis-13-trans-icosatetraenoate, NADH, NADPH, and H<sup>+</sup>.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD<sup>+</sup> or NADP<sup>+</sup> as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (15S)-15-hydroxy-5,8,11-cis-13-trans-icosatetraenoate:NAD(P)<sup>+</sup> 15-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoate dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in arachidonic acid metabolism.
