Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 241
Gene name Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activating protein
Gene symbol ALOX5AP
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
FLAP
Chromosome 13
Chromosome location 13q12.3
Summary 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.

Protein name Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) (MK-886-binding protein)
Protein 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 bi
