ALOX5 encodes a member of the lipoxygenase gene family and plays a dual role in the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. The arachidonate 5-lipoxygenasen, 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.

ALOX5 (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase), widely known as 5-lipoxygenase, 5-LO or 5-LOX, is a lipid-oxidising enzyme that initiates leukotriene biosynthesis from arachidonic acid. Researchers study ALOX5 in eicosanoid signalling, leukocyte biology and inflammatory mediator production.
Biological function: ALOX5 catalyses conversion of arachidonic acid to 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and then leukotriene A4 (LTA4), a branch-point intermediate for downstream leukotrienes. This places 5-LOX at a central enzymatic step in leukotriene generation.
