Return to overview

12-HPETE is reduced by phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) to the corresponding alcohol, 12-HETE (Suth01). 12-HETE is found in high concentrations in the skin and is renowned for acting as a chemoattractant during inflammation, with binding sites on both LCs and keratinocyte cells (Dowd, Kobza Black et al. 1985).
