Summary: Enables enzyme binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Contributes to arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activity. Involved in leukotriene biosynthetic process; lipoxygenase pathway; and positive regulation of acute inflammatory response. Located in nuclear envelope. Used to study pulmonary hypertension. Biomarker of glomerulonephritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including asthma; brain infarction (multiple); breast cancer; cerebral palsy; and coronary artery disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ALOX5AP (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activating protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
