13-HPOT, is a monohydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acid produced in soybeans by the action of soybean LO-2 on esterified α-linolenic acid. 13-HPOT, has shown to participate in a lipid-based signalling system initiated by insect and pathogen attack, in plants.
ChEBI: (9Z,11E,13S,15Z)-13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11,15-trienoic acid is a lipid hydroperoxide, obtained by the formal substitution of a hydrogen at position 9 of (9Z,11E,15Z)-octadeca-9,11,15-trienoic acid by a hydroperoxy group (the 13S-stereoisomer). Biochemically, it is an 18-C rearrangement and primary peroxidation product of alpha-linolenic acid, an intermediate in prostaglandin and leukotriene metabolism, and the substrate of the lyase enzyme hydroperoxide dehydratase. It is a trienoic fatty acid and a hydroperoxyoctadecatrienoic acid. It is functionally related to a (9Z,11E,15Z)-octadeca-9,11,15-trienoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a (9Z,11E,13S,15Z)-13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11,15-trienoate. It is an enantiomer of a (9Z,11E,13R,15Z)-13-hydroperoxyoctadecatrienoic acid.
