12-oxo-13-HOME is an oxylipin derived from linoleic acid .1It is formedviaa 13-HpODE intermediate that is produced by lipoxygenase-mediated metabolism of linoleic acid.2,3,112-oxo-13-HOME has been found in corn and sunflower seedlings.4 1.Ogorodnikova, A.V., Gorina, S.S., Mukhtarova, L.S., et al.Stereospecific biosynthesis of (9S,13S)-10-oxo-phytoenoic acid in young maize rootsBiochim.
