Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase (LTA4H) (AA 1-611) protein (His tag)
Description
LTA4H, which is short for Leukotriene A-4 hydrolase, is a 611 aa. protein. It belongs to the peptidase M1 family, and exists in cytoplasm. This protein has at least 4 isforms produced by alternative splicing, and two of them are expressed in monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, reticulocytes, platelets and fibroblasts. LTA4H involves in lipid metabolism and leukotriene B4 biosynthesis. It is a epoxide hydrolase that catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of the proinflammatory mediator leukotriene B4. It also has aminopeptidase activity
