Associations of Lta4h with chemical compounds

  • Surprisingly, this change in localization of LTA4 hydrolase did not affect the capacity of isolated cells to convert LTA4 to LTB4 [2].
  • In the AOM-treated mice not receiving green tea, the high-fat diet significantly enhanced colonic levels of 5-lipoxygenase, leukotriene A4 hydrolase, and leukotriene B4, but it did not significantly alter prostaglandin E2 levels and aberrant crypt foci formation [11].
  • Leukotriene-A4 hydrolase (EC 3.3.2.6) cleaved the NH2-terminal amino acid from several tripeptides, typified by arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid, arginyl-glycyl-glycine, and arginyl-histidyl-phenylalanine, with catalytic efficiencies (kcat/Km) > or = 1 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 [12].
  • From sequence comparisons with aminopeptidases, a tyrosine at position 383 in LTA4 hydrolase has been suggested as a possible catalytic amino acid [13].
