Ett enzym som katalyserar oxideringen av arakidonsyra till 5-hydroperoxiarakidonat (5-HPETE), som genom peroxidas snabbt omvandlas till 5-hydroxi-6,8,11,14-eikosatetraenoat (5-HETE). 5-hydroperoxidern a bildas framförallt i leukocyterna. EC 1.13.11.34.
An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 5-hydroperoxyarachidonate (5-HPETE) which is rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoate (5-HETE). The 5-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in leukocytes.
