MeSH Heading: Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.682.690.416.583.500.055; D12.776.556.579.374.568.500.020
Unique ID: D001094
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001094
Scope Note: 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.
Entry Term(s): 5-Lipoxygenase; Arachidonic Acid 5-Lipoxygenase; LTA4 Synthase; Leukotriene A Synthase; Leukotriene A4 Synthase; Leukotriene A4 Synthetase
