Hepoxilin B3
Hepoxilin B3 is a normal human epidermis eicosanoid. Hepoxilin B3 is dramatically elevated in psoriatic lesions. The primary biological action of the hepoxilins appears to relate to their ability to release calcium from intracellular stores through a receptor-mediated action. The receptor is intracellular, and appears to be G-protein coupled. The conversion of hepoxilin into its omega-hydroxy catabolite has recently been demonstrated through the action of an omega-hydroxylase. This enzyme is different from that which oxidizes leukotriene B4, as the former activity is lost when the cell is disrupted, while leukotriene B4-catabolic activity is recovered in both the intact and disrupted cell. Additionally, hepoxilin catabolism is inhibited by CCCP, a mitochondrial uncoupler, while leukotriene catabolism is unaffected. As hepoxilins cause the translocation of calcium from intracellular stores in the endoplasmic reticulum to the mitochondria, it is speculated that hepoxilin omega-oxidation takes place in the mitochondria, and the omega-oxidation product facilitates accumulation of the elevated cytosolic calcium by the mitochondria.

Troxilin B3
Troxilin B3 is the enzymatically formed derivative of Hepoxilin B3. Normal human epidermis incubated with exogenous AA produces 12-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-oxo-ETE), hepoxilin A3 (HxA3), and hepoxilin B3 (HxB3) through the 12- Lipoxygenase (LO) pathway. 12-LO is the major arachidonic acid (AA) oxygenation pathway in epidermal cells with total product formation generally exceeding cyclooxygenase activity. Platelet-type 12-LO has been found to be the predominant isoenzyme expressed in human and murine skin epidermis. Increased levels of nonesterified hepoxilins and trioxilins occur in the psoriatic scales. Normal human epidermis synthesized only one of the two possible 10-hydroxy epimers of HxB3 whose formation is probably catalyzed by 12-LO. Hepoxilins exert action on plasma permeability on skin, and induce a specific-receptor-dependent Ca2+ mobilization from endogenous sources and the release of AA and diacylglycerols.

Hepoxilin A3
Hepoxilin A3 is an electrophilic eicosanoids synthesized during arachidonic acid oxidative metabolism, which can participate in the Michael addition reaction with glutathione (GSH, a major cellular antioxidant) catalyzed by the GSH-S-transferase (GST) family. GSH-adducts have been observed with molecules synthesized through the 12-lipoxygenase pathway. (PMID 12432937). Hepoxilins have biological actions that appear to have, as their basis, changes in intracellular concentrations of ions including calcium and potassium ions as well as changes in second messenger systems. Recent evidence suggests that the biological actions of the hepoxilins may be receptor-mediated as indicated from data showing the existence of hepoxilin-specific binding proteins in the human neutrophils. Such evidence also implicates the association of G-proteins both in hepoxilin-binding as well as in hepoxilin action. (PMID 7947989).
