Summary: Enables leukotriene-A4 hydrolase activity. Involved in several processes, including leukotriene metabolic process; response to zinc ion; and type I pneumocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Biomarker of adenocarcinoma; asthma; and squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LTA4H (leukotriene A4 hydrolase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Gliotoxin suppresses the biosynthesis of the potent neutrophil chemoattractant LTB4 by direct interference with LTA4H thereby impairing neutrophil functions in invasive aspergillosis.

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.
