Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase
5-Lipoxygenase | Arachidonic Acid 5-Lipoxygenase | LTA4 Synthase | Leukotriene A Synthase | Leukotriene A4 Synthase | Leukotriene A4 Synthetase | 5 Lipoxygenase | 5-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate | 5-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid | Synthase, LTA4
An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 5-hydroperoxyarachidonate (5-HPETE) which is rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoate (5-HETE). The 5-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in leukocytes. EC 1.13.11.34. |
