D007975 Leukotriene B4 The major metabolite in neutrophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It stimulates polymorphonuclear cell function (degranulation, formation of oxygen-centered free radicals, arachidonic acid release, and metabolism).

D001094 Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 5-hydroperoxyarachidonate (5-HPETE) which is rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoate (5-HETE). The 5-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in leukocytes. 5-Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 5-Lipoxygenase,LTA4 Synthase,Leukotriene A Synthase,Leukotriene A4 Synthase,Leukotriene A4 Synthetase,5 Lipoxygenase,5-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate,5-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid,Arachidonate 5 Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 5 Lipoxygenase,Synthase, LTA4,Synthase, Leukotriene A,Synthase, Leukotriene A4,Synthetase, Leukotriene A4
