The ALOX5 gene encodes a member of the lipoxygenase gene family and plays a dual role in the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. The encoded protein, which is expressed specifically in bone marrow-derived cells, catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to 5(S)-hydroperoxy-6-trans-8,11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid, and further to the allylic epoxide 5(S)-trans-7,9-trans-11,14-cis-eicosatetrenoic acid (leukotriene A4). Leukotrienes are important mediators of a number of inflammatory and allergic conditions. Mutations in the promoter region of this gene lead to a diminished response to antileukotriene drugs used in the treatment of asthma and may also be associated with atherosclerosis and several cancers.

Optimal dilution of the 5-Lipoxygenase antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide specific to human 5-Lipoxygenase / ALOX5 was used as the immunogen for the 5-Lipoxygenase antibody.
Store the 5-Lipoxygenase antibody at -20oC.
