?
PLAT/ LH2 domain of plant lipoxygenase related proteins. Lipoxygenases are nonheme, nonsulfur iron dioxygenases that act on lipid substrates containing one or more (Z,Z)-1,4-pentadiene moieties. In plants, the immediate products are involved in defense mechanisms against pathogens and may be precursors of metabolic regulators. The generally proposed function of PLAT/LH2 domains is to mediate interaction with lipids or membrane bound proteins.
