Human 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) ELISA Kit

5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) is an endogenous eicosanoid. 5-HETE is an intermediate in the pathway of leukotriene synthesis. In addition, it is a modulator of tubuloglomerular feedback.
5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid is a key intermediate of the arachidonate-dependent protective signaling in monocytes/macrophages exposed to peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite elicited the nuclear membrane translocation of 5-LO and enhanced its enzymatic activity via a mechanism sensitive to low concentrations of inhibitors of 5-LO or the 5-LO-activating protein, as well as to genetic depletion of the latter enzyme. Inhibition of 5-LO activity was invariably associated with the cytosolic localization of PKC, the mitochondrial accumulation of Bad,...

Peroxynitrite elicited the nuclear membrane translocation of 5-LO and enhanced its enzymatic activity via a mechanism sensitive to low concentrations of inhibitors of 5-LO or the 5-LO-activating protein, as well as to genetic depletion of the latter enzyme. Inhibition of 5-LO activity was invariably associated with the cytosolic localization of PKC, the mitochondrial accumulation of Bad, and a rapid MPT-dependent necrosis. All these events were prevented by nanomolar concentrations of the 5-LO product 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid.
