Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * LOX5 is a multi-functional enzyme that can act as an enzyme in the biosynthesis of different lipid molecules, including arachidonic acid, DHA-derived spms, DPA-derived spms, ω-3 PUFA-derived spms, EPA-derived spms, and specialized proresolving mediators (spms). * It is involved in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses. * Mutations in the ALOX5 gene have been linked to the pathogenesis of several diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. **Pathways and functions:** * LOX5 is involved in the biosynthesis of spms, which are lipid mediators that play a role in inflammation and immune responses. * It is primarily expressed in immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. * LOX5 activity is regulated by various factors, including cytokines, hormones, and metabolites. * Its expression is increased in response to inflammatory stimuli, indicating its role in inflammation resolution. **Clinical significance:** * LOX5 gene mutations have been linked to the pathogenesis of several diseases, highlighting its importance in human health. * Understanding the role of LOX5 in inflammation and immunology could lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for diseases such as AMD, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. * LOX5 inhibitors are currently being investigated as potential therapeutic agents for these diseases.
