  1. 1. Biosynthesis and biological role of leukotrienes in B lymphocytes

    Författare :Yilmaz Mahshid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Leukotrienes (LT) are potent lipid mediators, synthesized from arachidonic acid (AA) upon cell activation. The essential enzyme for leukotriene biosynthesis is 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), converting AA, through a two step process to LTA4. The activity of 5-LO is dependent on 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Biosynthesis and biological role of leukotrienes in human lymphocytes

    Författare :Yilmaz Mahshid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Leukotrienes (LT) are biologically active metabolites of arachidonic acid. The key enzyme in leukotriene biosynthesis is 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). Leukotriene B4 exerts its biological effect mainly via BLT1, the high affinity receptor for LTB4. Leukotriene B4 is a potent proinflammatory and chemotactic mediator. LÄS MER
