Summary: Predicted to enable arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activity and iron ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cytochrome-c oxidase activity; positive regulation of vasoconstriction; and response to hyperoxia. Located in dendrite; nuclear envelope; and sarcolemma. Used to study several diseases, including brain ischemia; hypertension (multiple); pleurisy; portal hypertension; and pulmonary edema. Biomarker of pulmonary hypertension. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in Lung (RPKM 53.5), Heart (RPKM 25.7) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
