Catalytic ActivityArachidonate + O(2) = leukotriene A(4) + H(2)O.
CofactorName=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI
CofactorName=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI
FunctionCatalyzes the first step in leukotriene biosynthesis, and thereby plays a role in inflammatory processes.

PathwayLipid metabolism; leukotriene A4 biosynthesis.
PtmSerine 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. {ECO
SimilarityBelongs to the lipoxygenase family.
SimilarityContains 1 lipoxygenase domain. {ECO
SimilarityContains 1 PLAT domain. {ECO
Subcellular LocationCytoplasm. 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.
SubunitInteracts with ALOX5AP and LTC4S. Interacts with COTL1, the interaction is required for stability and efficient catalytic activity. {ECO
