LEUKOTRIENE E4 Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Leukotriene E4 is a metabolite of Arachidonic acid (A765000) via the lipoxygenase pathway, chemically related to the prostaglandins and thromboxanes. The name leukotrienes was applied because of their origin in leukocytes and their conjugated triene structures.

Definition

ChEBI: Leukotriene E4 is a leukotriene that is (7E,9E,11Z,14Z)-icosa-7,9,11,14-tetraenoic acid substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5 (5S) and an L-cystein-S-yl group at position 6 (6R). It is a leukotriene, an amino dicarboxylic acid, a secondary alcohol, a L-cysteine thioether and a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid. It is functionally related to an icosa-7,9,11,14-tetraenoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a leukotriene E4(1-).
