Leukotriene B4

International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 1998
Leukotriene B4 is a pro-inflammatory mediator synthesised in myeloid cells from arachidonic acid. Synthesis is catalysed by 5-lipoxygenase and leukotriene A4 hydrolase and is increased by inflammatory mediators including endotoxin, complement fragments, tumor necrosis factor and interleukins.

Biosynthesis of leukotriene B4

Seminars in Immunology, 2017
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a lipid mediator derived from arachidonic acid (AA) by the sequential action of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) and LTA4 hydrolase (LTA4H). It was initially recognized for its involvement in the recruitment of neutrophils and is one of the most potent chemotactic agents known to date.

A radioimmunoassay for leukotriene B4

Prostaglandins, 1982
A radioimmunoassay for leukotriene B4 has been developed. The assay is sensitive; 5 pg LTB4 caused significant inhibition of binding of [3H]-LTB4 and 50% displacement occurred with 30 pg. The specificity of the assay has been critically examined; prostaglandins, thromboxane B2 and arachidonic acid do not exhibit detectable cross-reactions (less than 0 ...

Leukotriene B4 in Hemodialysis

Artificial Organs, 1990
Abstract: Leukotrienes are eicosanoids arising from arachidonic acid via 5 lipooxygenase, an enzyme essentially present in leukocyte cells. Leukotriene B4 might be an indicator of neutropolymorphonuclear leukocyte activation when there is contact with artificial membranes.

Leukotriene B4 receptors

Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a potent chemotactic agent and activating factor for granulocytes. Two cell surface receptors for LTB4 (BLT1 and BLT2) have been isolated in the last few years. These receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), and they have 45% amino acid identity. BLT1 and BLT2 are high- and low- affinity receptors, respectively.
