Abstract

Leukotriene (LT) A4 hydrolase is a soluble enzyme that catalyzes the production of 5S,12R-dihydroxy-6, 14-cis-8,10-trans-eicosatetraenoic acid (LTB4) from the transient allylic epoxide 5S-trans-5, 6-oxido-7,9-trans-11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid (LTA4). LTB4 elicits chemotaxis and adherence of leukocytes in only nM concentrations and is regarded as an important chemical mediator in a variety of inflammatory disorders.KeywordsWild Type EnzymeEpoxide HydrolaseAminopeptidase ActivitySilyl EtherSoybean LipoxygenaseThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
