Summary: Enables arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including leukotriene A4 biosynthetic process; 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 limb long bone 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).

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.
