Also Known as 5LO; 5LX; 5-LO; 5-LOX; F730011J02
Species: Mus musculus
About Alox5
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 221 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 17 phenotypes. Broad expression in lung adult (RPKM 3.4), heart adult (RPKM 2.7) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
Enables arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including leukocyte migration; negative regulation of angiogenesis; and regulation of cellular response to stress. Acts upstream of or within leukotriene biosynthetic process and leukotriene production involved in inflammatory response. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in duodenum epithelium and small intestine epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); asthma (multiple); pancreatic cancer; and pulmonary tuberculosis. Orthologous to human ALOX5 (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase).
