Leukotriene-C4 synthase
The enzyme leukotriene-C4 synthase catalyzes the reaction
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the class of carbon-sulfur lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is leukotriene-C4 glutathione-lyase . Other names in common use include leukotriene C4 synthetase, LTC4 synthase, LTC4 synthetase, leukotriene A4:glutathione S-leukotrienyltransferase, --5,6-epoxyicosa-7,9,11,14-tetraenoate:glutathione leukotriene-transferase, , --6--5-hydroxyicosa-7,9,11,14-tetraenoate glutathione-lyase . This enzyme participates in arachidonic acid metabolism.
