5-Lipoxygenase activating protein

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

5-Lipoxygenase activating protein, or FLAP, is an enzyme necessary for the activation of 5-lipoxygenase and therefore for the production of leukotrienes. It is bound to the nuclear membrane. Gene polymorphisms in FLAP are suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer's disease.[1]
