What it does, reaction by reaction

1 reactions

Eicosanoid Synthesis Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol / ER / nuclear membrane

step 5 Irreversible/directional

LTA4 -> LTB4, or LTA4 + glutathione -> LTC4 -> LTD4 -> LTE4

Converts LTA4 into LTB4, or LTA4 Glutathione (GSH)

› Notes

LTB4 is a neutrophil chemoattractant; the cysteinyl leukotrienes are the slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis and are blocked at the receptor by montelukast/zafirlukast.
