• Reactivity Assumed Based on 100% Sequence Homology: Non human primates
• Species Reactivity Note: The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat and human tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with non human primates based on the fact that these species have 100% homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.
• Biological Significance: The enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) plays a key role in regulating the production of leukotrienes (LTs) (Funk, 2001). Overproduction of LTs contributes to several diseases, most notably chronic inflammatory diseases, including asthma (Drazen et al., 1994), fibrosis (Wilborn et al., 1996) and atherosclerosis (Dwyer et al., 2004). Recent work has demonstrated that the activity of 5-LO is regulated by PKA phosphorylation of serine-523 in 5-LO (Luo et al., 2004). Under normal conditions, this phosphorylation may be important in limiting inflammation. Abnormal signaling through cAMP and PKA, then, could contribute to a variety of diseases, including those characterized by chronic inflammation. The phospho-specific antibody to Ser523 on 5-LO is thus likely to provide a valuable tool for studies of the role of 5-LO regulation in diseases such as asthma, fibrosis and atherosclerosis.
• Preparation and Storage: For long term storage -20 degree C is recommended. Stable at -20 degree C for at least 1 year.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the lipoxygenase gene family and plays a dual role in the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. The encoded protein, which is expressed specifically in bone marrow-derived cells, catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to 5(S)-hydroperoxy-6-trans-8,11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid, and further to the allylic epoxide 5(S)-trans-7,9-trans-11,14-cis-eicosatetrenoic acid (leukotriene A4). Leukotrienes are important mediators of a number of inflammatory and allergic conditions. Mutations in the promoter region of this gene lead to a diminished response to antileukotriene drugs used in the treatment of asthma and may also be associated with atherosclerosis and several cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Uniprot Description

Function: Catalyzes the first step in leukotriene biosynthesis, and thereby plays a role in inflammatory processes. Ref.20

Catalytic activity: Arachidonate + O2 = leukotriene A4 + H2O. Ref.20

Cofactor: Binds 1 iron ion per subunit. Ref.20Binds 2 calcium ions per subunit

By similarity. Ref.20

Pathway: Lipid metabolism; leukotriene A4 biosynthesis.

Subunit structure: Interacts with ALOX5AP and LTC4S. Interacts with COTL1, the interaction is required for stability and efficient catalytic activity. Ref.17 Ref.19

Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Nucleus matrix. Nucleus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note: 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. Ref.10 Ref.13 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.18

Post-translational modification: Serine phosphorylation by MAPKAPK2 is stimulated by arachidonic acid. Phosphorylation on Ser-523 by PKA has an inhibitory effect. Phosphorylation on Ser-272 prevents export from the nucleus.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the lipoxygenase family.Contains 1 lipoxygenase domain.Contains 1 PLAT domain.
