drug development | 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is a target for drug design. Due to its role in the production of inflammatory lipid mediators, 5-LOX is a target for the development of therapeutics for conditions as diverse as asthma, cardiovascular disease, pancreatic cancer, and traumatic brain injury | Homo sapiens |

additional information | structure-function analysis, overview. 5-LOX reveals a fully encapsulated active site, amino acid residue Phe177 plays a critical role in providing a fully functional active site, it shields the active site in the absence of substrate serving as the active site portal. Role for His600, deep in the elongated cavity, in positioning the substrate for catalysis | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the enzyme initiates the synthesis of pro-inflammatory leukotrienes and catalyze the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids | Homo sapiens |
