Crystal structure of human leukotriene C4 synthase

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 17632548

Disease

[LTC4S_HUMAN] Defects in LTC4S are the cause of leukotriene C4 synthase deficiency (LTC4 synthase deficiency) [MIM:246530]. LTC4 synthase deficiency is a fatal neurometabolic developmental disorder. It is associated with muscular hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, failure to thrive, and microcephaly.

Function

[LTC4S_HUMAN] Catalyzes the conjugation of leukotriene A4 with reduced glutathione to form leukotriene C4.
