12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) is an eicosanoid. It is a metabolite of arachidonic acid produced by the action of the enzyme arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase. 12-HETE is a highly selective ligand used to label mu opioid receptors. 12-HETE can activate Cdc42, Rac1 and PI-3K, which then participate as upstream signalling molecules for PAK1 and JNK1 activation. 12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) is a chemotactic stimulus for epidermal cells. 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), the main eicosanoid in skin, is assumed to have both pathophysiologic effects in inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic eczema and a physiologic role in the biology of cutaneous reparative processes. The modulation of epidermal 12-HETE receptors by UV-B may partly explain the therapeutic effects of UV-B, but possibly also contribute to photodamage to skin.

Human 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate 12-HETE in samples. An antibody specific for 12-HETE has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any12-HETE present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for 12-HETE is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of 12-HETE bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
