Background

Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase, also known as 5-LOX or 5-LO, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALOX5 gene. ALOX5 is a member of the lipoxygenase family of enzymes. It is mapped to 10q11.21. ALOX5 plays a dual role in the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. The position of ALOX5 within the nucleus of resting cells determines the capacity to generate LTB4 upon subsequent activation. It is involved in lung vascular tone regulation and in the development of chronic pulmonary hypertension in hypoxic rodent models. ALOX5 also transforms EFAs into leukotrienes and is a current target for pharmaceutical intervention in a number of diseases.

Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus matrix. Nucleus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Shuttles between cytoplasm and nucleus. Found exclusively in the nucleus, when phosphorylated on Ser-272. Calcium binding promotes translocation from the cytosol and the nuclear matrix to the nuclear envelope and membrane association.

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the lipoxygenase family.
