Disease relevance of ALOX5AP

 

Psychiatry related information on ALOX5AP

 

High impact information on ALOX5AP

 

Chemical compound and disease context of ALOX5AP

  • Although there was limited inter-study concordance of important loci, two gene variants in the leukotriene pathway (ALOX5AP and LTA4) have emerged as susceptibility factors for myocardial infarction (MI) [10].
  • Reply to Dr Nuhoğlu et al.'s Letter to the Editor re: Miroslav L. Djordjevic, Sava V. Perovic, Zoran Slavkovic and Nenad Djakovic. Longitudinal Dorsal Dartos Flap for Prevention of Fistula after a Snodgrass Hypospadias Procedure. Eur Urol 2006;50:53-57 [11].
 

Biological context of ALOX5AP

 

Anatomical context of ALOX5AP

  • To determine the functional role of polymorphisms on basal transcription, we generated ALOX5AP-promoter-luciferase constructs and transiently transfected human HeLa cells [12].
  • The small molecular inhibitor MK886 is known to block 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein ALOX5AP and shows antitumor activity in multiple human cell lines [14].
  • METHODS: We describe a technique of reconstructing the chest wall defect involving the lower costal margin and diaphragm with an Inverted Y Marlex Methylmethacrylate Sandwich Flap [15].
  • PACAP Induces Neurite Outgrowth in Cultured Trigeminal Ganglion Cells and Recovery of Corneal Sensitivity After Flap Surgery in Rabbits [16].
  • Methodology: Thirty patients with exposed Achilles' tendon were treated with Superficial Sural Island Flap with excellent outcome [17].
 

Associations of ALOX5AP with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of ALOX5AP

  • We recently reported a linkage and association study of MI and stroke that yielded a genetic variant, HapA, in the gene encoding 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP), that associates with both diseases in Iceland [20].
 

Other interactions of ALOX5AP

  • OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify novel promoter polymorphisms within the FLAP (ALOX5AP) gene promoter and test the role of these and the previously identified 5-LO (ALOX5) Sp1 promoter polymorphism in asthma susceptibility [12].
  • ALOX5AP gene and the PDE4D gene in a central European population of stroke patients [21].
  • It appears reasonable to conclude that up-regulated inflammatory-gene expression (ALOX5AP, S100A8 and S100A12) may play an important role in CZ HD patients [22].
  • Polymorphisms of SG13S114T/A and SG13S89G/A in the ALOX5AP were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction and the restriction enzyme analysis [23].
