Background Information
ALOX5(arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase) is also named as LOG5, 5-LO and belongs to the lipoxygenase family. It catalyzes the first step in leukotriene biosynthesis, and plays a role in inflammatory processes. It is a 78 kDa iron-containing enzyme that translocates from the cytosol to associate with FLAP, and converts arachidonate in two steps into the unstable intermediate LTA4. It is essential for cysteinyl-leukotriene (cys-LT) production, critical mediators in asthma(PMID:12911785).
