Fatty acid binding proteins stabilize leukotriene A4
Leukotriene A4 (LTA4) is a chemically reactive conjugated triene epoxide product derived from 5-lipoxygenase oxygenation of arachidonic acid. At physiological pH, this reactive compound has a half-life of less than 3 s at 37°C and ∼40 s at 4°C. Regardless of this aqueous instability, LTA4 is an inte...
