Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including arachidonate binding activity; glutathione peroxidase activity; and glutathione transferase activity. Predicted to contribute to arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within leukotriene biosynthetic process and leukotriene production involved in inflammatory response. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; hemolymphoid system; limb long bone; liver; and vertebra. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); asthma; brain infarction (multiple); breast cancer; and cerebral palsy. Orthologous to human ALOX5AP (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activating protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Broad expression in liver E18 (RPKM 51.8), lung adult (RPKM 33.9) and 22 other tissues See more

What's a GeneRIF?

Within the endothelial population, cells that transition from haemogenic endothelial to erythro-myeloid progenitors specifically express Alox5 and its co-factor Alox5ap, which control leukotriene production. Functional assays using mouse embryonic stem cells demonstrate that leukotrienes promote haematopoietic progenitor cell generation.

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.
