Return to overview

ALOX5 encodes the protein 5-LOX, which is responsible for the generation of 5-HPETE. This protein shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus and has been detected in the nucleus matrix, the nucleus membrane, the peripheral membrane and the cytoplasm.

The formation of the hydroperoxy fatty acids begins with the abstraction of a hydrogen radical at the allylic position between two double bonds. The structure undergoes a rearrangement reaction which results in the formation of a conjugated diene system. The insertion of molecular oxygen and a hydrogen leads to the formation of the final structure, a hydroperoxy fatty acid.

5-LOX activity in the skin remains a mystery. The enzyme has a low levels of activity in cutaneous cells, but products of the pathway such as leukotrienes and 5-HETE are always detected in human skin tissue (Breton, Woolf et al. 1996). As with various prostaglandins found in the compartment, it has been suggested that the detected 5-LOX metabolites are as a result of infiltrating cells from the vascular compartment (Kowal-Bielecka, Distler et al. 2001, Kanaoka and Boyce 2004).
