Catalysis of the reaction: H2O + leukotriene A(4) = leukotriene B(4). [EC:3.3.2.6, RHEA:22324]
Leukotriene-A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of leukotriene A4 (LTA4), a highly reactive epoxide, to leukotriene B4 (LTB4). This crucial step in leukotriene biosynthesis is essential for the production of potent mediators of inflammation and immune responses. LTA4H catalyzes the nucleophilic attack of water at the epoxide group of LTA4, opening the ring and generating the alcohol group characteristic of LTB4. This enzymatic reaction occurs within the cytosol of cells, where LTA4H resides in close proximity to the enzymes responsible for the synthesis of LTA4 from arachidonic acid. LTB4, the product of this enzymatic reaction, is a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophils and other immune cells. It plays a critical role in the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation, the activation of inflammatory signaling pathways, and the development of inflammatory responses. The ability of LTA4H to convert LTA4 to LTB4 is thus essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and the regulation of inflammation.'
