Also known as FLAP

Summary

ALOX5AP (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activating protein, HGNC:436) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q12.3, encoding Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (P20292). Required for leukotriene biosynthesis by ALOX5 (5-lipoxygenase).

This gene encodes a protein which, with 5-lipoxygenase, is required for leukotriene synthesis. Leukotrienes are arachidonic acid metabolites which have been implicated in various types of inflammatory responses, including asthma, arthritis and psoriasis. This protein localizes to the plasma membrane. Inhibitors of its function impede translocation of 5-lipoxygenase from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane and inhibit 5-lipoxygenase activation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Additional cross-species homologs

Sequence homologs in species beyond Ensembl Compara’s model organisms, by Diamond local protein alignment (% sequence identity; best hit per species). Lower-identity rows are more distant homologs. The matched accessions’ gene symbols aren’t in biobtree yet, so each row shows the UniProt accession.

Genomic neighbors (locus context)

Genes flanking this one on the chromosome (NCBI/Entrez gene neighborhood). Positional context only — some neighbors share regulatory elements (bidirectional promoters, antisense/overlapping transcripts), but chromosomal adjacency is not itself a functional relationship (see Interactions for that).

Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein — P20292 (reviewed: P20292)

Alternative names: FLAP, MK-886-binding protein

All UniProt accessions (2): A0A087WW23, P20292

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Required for leukotriene biosynthesis by ALOX5 (5-lipoxygenase). Anchors ALOX5 to the membrane. Binds arachidonic acid, and could play an essential role in the transfer of arachidonic acid to ALOX5. Binds to MK-886, a compound that blocks the biosynthesis of leukotrienes.

Subunit / interactions. Homotrimer. Interacts with LTC4S and ALOX5.

Subcellular location. Nucleus membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Disease relevance. Ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367] A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Genetic variations in ALOX5AP may be associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction. Involvement in myocardial infarction is however unclear: according to some authors, a 4-SNP haplotype in ALOX5AP confers risk of myocardial infarction, while according to other ALOX5AP is not implicated in this condition.

Domain organisation. The C-terminal part after residue 140 is mostly unstructured.

Similarity. Belongs to the MAPEG family.
