Common Nameleukotriene-C4
DescriptionLeukotriene C4, also known as 5S,6R-LTC(sub 4) or LTC4, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oligopeptides. These are organic compounds containing a sequence of between three and ten alpha-amino acids joined by peptide bonds. Thus, leukotriene C4 is considered to be an eicosanoid lipid molecule. Leukotriene C4 is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Within humans, leukotriene C4 participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, leukotriene C4 can be biosynthesized from leukotriene A4 and glutathione; which is catalyzed by the enzyme leukotriene C4 synthase. In addition, leukotriene C4 can be converted into leukotriene D4 and L-glutamic acid through its interaction with the enzyme Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase 1. In humans, leukotriene C4 is involved in mefenamic acid action pathway. Outside of the human body, Leukotriene C4 has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as romaine lettuces, mung beans, annual wild rices, dandelions, and java plums. This could make leukotriene C4 a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Leukotriene C4, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as leukotriene c4-synthesis deficiency, aseptic meningitis, hydrocephalus, and aids; leukotriene C4 has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder glutathione synthetase deficiency. leukotriene-C4 is found in Mus musculus. leukotriene-C4 was first documented in 1984 (PMID: 6440558). A leukotriene that is (5S,7E,9E,11Z,14Z)-5-hydroxyicosa-7,9,11,14-tetraenoic acid in which a glutathionyl group is attached at position 6 via a sulfide linkage (PMID: 2558123) (PMID: 8608646) (PMID: 8939179) (PMID: 3421265) (PMID: 3418380) (PMID: 2007712).
