The 12(S)-HETE EIA kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay kit with results in 5 hours. Absorbance is read at 405 nm. Fast, accurate, and reliable results are obtained with ready-to-use liquid color-coded reagents that reduce error.

HETEs are byproducts generated by the metabolism of arachidonic acid by lipoxygenases. 12(S)-HETE is the stereospecific hydroxy product from the reduction of 12(S)-hydroperoxy tetraenoic eicosatetraenoic acid [12(S)-HpETE], which itself is a 12-lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid. 12(S)-HETE is chemotactic and chemokinetic for polymorphonuclear leukocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells. It also acts as a second messenger in angiotensin-II induced aldosterone production. 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [15(S)-HETE] is the major hydroxy derivative of arachidonic acid when acted upon by 15-lipoxygenase. It is also the primary monohydroxy acid synthesized by the lipoxygenase activity of Cyclooxygenase-1 upon linoleic acid. 15(S)-HETE acts as a paracrine regulator of smooth muscle and lung neutrophil recruitment, and elevated levels of 15(S)-HETE are associated with asthma, rhinitis, chronic paranasal sinusitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
