title: Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase.
abstract: In this article, it has been attempted to review data primarily on the activation of human 5-lipoxygenase, in vitro and in the cell. First, structural properties and enzyme activities are described. This is followed by the activating factors: Ca2+, membranes, ATP, and lipid hydroperoxide. Also, studies on phosphorylation of 5-lipoxygenase, interaction with other proteins, and the intracellullar mobility of 5-lipoxygenase, are reviewed.
