1 Boswellic acids stimulate arachidonic acid release and 12-lipoxygenase activity in human platelets independent of Ca2+ and differentially interact with platelet-type 12-lipoxygenase. boswellic acid arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S type Homo sapiens
2 Using human platelets, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the boswellic acid-induced release of arachidonic acid and the subsequent metabolism by platelet-type 12-li-poxygenase (p12-LO). boswellic acid arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S type Homo sapiens
3 Using human platelets, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the boswellic acid-induced release of arachidonic acid and the subsequent metabolism by platelet-type 12-li-poxygenase (p12-LO). boswellic acid arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S type Homo sapiens
4 It is noteworthy that in cell-free assays, beta-boswellic acid increased p12-LO catalysis approximately 2-fold in the absence but not in the presence of Ca2+, whereas AKBA inhibited p12-LO activity. boswellic acid arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S type Homo sapiens
5 Taken together, we show that boswellic acids induce the release of arachidonic acid and the synthesis of 12-H(P)ETE in human platelets by unique Ca2+-independent routes, and we identified p12-LO as a selective molecular target of boswellic acids. boswellic acid arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S type Homo sapiens
6 Taken together, we show that boswellic acids induce the release of arachidonic acid and the synthesis of 12-H(P)ETE in human platelets by unique Ca2+-independent routes, and we identified p12-LO as a selective molecular target of boswellic acids. boswellic acid arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12S type Homo sapiens
