5‐lipoxygenase‐activating protein is an arachidonate binding protein [PDF]

open access: bronzeFEBS Letters, 1993
5‐Lipoxygenase‐activating protein (FLAP) is an 18‐kDa integral membrane protein which is essential for cellular leukotriene (LT) synthesis, and is the target of LT biosynthesis inhibitors. However, the mechanism by which FLAP activates 5‐LO has not been determined.

Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase Variants in Atherosclerosis, Obesity, and Bone Traits [PDF]

open access: bronzeCirculation Research, 2006
To the Editor: I write regarding publications by Mehrabian et al1,2 appearing in Circulation Research and a subsequent publication by Kuhn et al3 appearing in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology . The key implication from the combination of these reports was that amino acid substitutions in arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) could ...

Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase Promoter Genotype, Dietary Arachidonic Acid, and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: bronzeNew England Journal of Medicine, 2003
Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators generated from arachidonic acid (polyunsaturated n-6 fatty acid) by the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. Since atherosclerosis involves arterial inflammation, we hypothesized that a polymorphism in the 5-lipoxygenase gene promoter could relate to atherosclerosis in humans and that this effect could interact with the ...

Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase and Cyclooxygenase Metabolites From Guinea Pig Eosinophils and Macrophages

open access: diamondJapanese Journal of Pharmacology, 2000
To investigate the cellular sources of arachidonate metabolites during asthma, in vitro productions of thromboxane (TX) B2, prostaglandin (PG) D2, leukotriene (LT) B4 and cysteinyl (Cys) LTs from guinea pig eosinophils and macrophages simultaneously stimulated with the Ca ionophore A23187 were investigated.

Inhibition of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase triggers massive apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
Diets high in fat are associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, although the molecular mechanism is still unknown. We have previously reported that arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid common in the Western diet, stimulates proliferation of prostate cancer cells through production of the 5-lipoxygenase metabolite, 5-HETE (5 ...
