5-Lipoxygenase Antibody [FITC]

5-lipoxygenase (5LO) is a pro-inflammatory enzyme widely expressed in CNS where its level increases in an age-dependent manner and its activity is regulated by the presence/availability of FLAP (5LO activating protein) that form a functional complex with 5LO to catalyze arachidonic acid oxidation to produce lipid molecules with complex signaling properties such as leukotrienes. Reaction catalyzed by 5LO is considered as first step in the leukotriene biosynthesis and it is highly critical to inflammatory processes. Moreover, knockout of 5LO as well as FLAP has been shown to result in anxiety-like behavior in mice and 5LO is emerging as a new active player in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. 5LO levels are significantly increased in AD postmortem brain tissues and its genetic absence or pharmacological blockade both result in a significant reduction in the abeta levels as well as deposition in a transgenic mouse model of AD-like amyloidosis (i.e., Tg2576) mice.
