Human genetic defect in leukotriene C4 synthesis.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 1986, Nov-14, Volume: 140, Issue:3

    Normal human platelets metabolise [3H]-LTA4 into [3H]-LTC4. Platelets from patients with glutathione synthetase deficiency possessing 10-30% of normal levels of cellular glutathione showed marked reduction in capacity to form [3H]-LTC4 (8-10% of normal) even though exogenous reduced glutathione was added to the incubation medium. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration of a genetic defect in LTC4 synthetase coupled to a defect in cellular glutathione levels.
