TL;DR: The enzyme from tulip bulbs appears to be different from the cytosolic lipoxygenase from potato tubers, which exhibits non-regiospecificity in terms of O2 incorporation, however, the purified tulip lip oxygengenase showed a strong immunological crossreactivity with antiserum raised against the purified potato lipoxygenicase, indicating close immunological relationship with the other plant lipoxyGENases.

TL;DR: Findings provide further evidence that the lipoxygen enzyme and cyclooxygenase pathways produce metabolites which can modulate NK cell function, and that 5(S),12(S)-diHETE (EZEZ), which has not been previously tested for effects on NK cells, may have a significant immunoregulatory role.
