This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes, potent biological compounds derived from arachidonic acid. Leukotrienes have been implicated as mediators of anaphylaxis and inflammatory conditions such as human bronchial asthma. This protein localizes to the nuclear envelope and adjacent endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the conjugation of leukotriene A4 with reduced glutathione to form leukotriene C4. |MAPEG| |leukotriene-C4 synthase activity| |lipoxin metabolic process| |lipoxin biosynthetic process| |lipoxygenase pathway| |leukotriene biosynthetic process| |glutathione peroxidase activity| |nuclear outer membrane| |glutathione transferase activity| |long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process| |leukotriene metabolic process| |unsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process| |icosanoid biosynthetic process| |enzyme activator activity| |cellular oxidant detoxification| |fatty acid derivative biosynthetic process| |cellular detoxification| |unsaturated fatty acid metabolic process| |icosanoid metabolic process| |long-chain fatty acid metabolic process| |fatty acid biosynthetic process| |detoxification| |lipid binding| |fatty acid derivative metabolic process| |nuclear envelope| |monocarboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |cellular response to toxic substance| |carboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |organic acid biosynthetic process| |fatty acid metabolic process| |response to toxic substance| |monocarboxylic acid metabolic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |intracellular membrane-bounded organelle| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum| |organic acid metabolic process| |identical protein binding| |lipid metabolic process| |positive regulation of catalytic activity| |small molecule metabolic process| |positive regulation of molecular function| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp432|YM155 0.001μM R08 exp432]]|1.81| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
