The 5-LOX ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of 5-LOX in various samples. 5-LOX is an alternative name for the human ALOX5 gene, which encodes the protein, arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase. It has been mentioned that 5-LOX plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis and the regulation of angiogenesis, among other functions. Structurally, the ALOX5 protein is 674 amino acid residues in length and 78 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 5 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm of the cell. This protein is known to be phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include 5-LO, 5-LO, and 5-LOX.
