1 FLAP: a novel drug target for inhibiting the synthesis of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activating protein Homo sapiens
2 FLAP (5-lipoxygenase-activating protein) is a novel 18 kDa membrane protein that together with 5-lipoxygenase is required for cellular leukotriene biosynthesis. Leukotrienes arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activating protein Homo sapiens
3 Tony Ford-Hutchinson describes a novel class of leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitor, exemplified by MK0886, that can bind to FLAP with high affinity, prevent the activation of 5-lipoxygenase by preventing the translocation of the enzyme from the cytosol to the membrane and inhibit leukotriene production. Leukotrienes arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activating protein Homo sapiens
