簡要描述：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.
Involvement in disease:
Genetic variations in ALOX5AP may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) ; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event lea
