| Accepted name: |
arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase |
| Reaction: |
arachidonate + O2 = leukotriene A4 + H2O (overall reaction)
(1a) arachidonate + O2 = (6E,8Z,11Z,14Z)-(5S)-5-hydroperoxyicosa-6,8,11,14-tetraenoate
(1b) (6E,8Z,11Z,14Z)-(5S)-5-hydroperoxyicosa-6,8,11,14-tetraenoate = leukotriene A4 + H2O |
