Abstract:

The separation and purification of lipoxygenase (LOX) from silver carp muscle were achieved by using ammonium sulfate precipitation and subsequent hydroxylapatite column chromatographic fractionation. Besides, the oxidation products of arachidonic acid under the catalysis of this enzyme were analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) with the aim of identification, and its substrate specificity was also explored. Arachidonic acid was mainly transformed into 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) under the catalysis of the LOX enzyme, suggesting that the main type of LOX in silver carp muscle is 12-LOX. Furthermore, the optimal substrate for this enzyme was linolenic acid.

Key words: silver carp, lipoxygenase, purification, identification, RP-HPLC
