Ltc4s

The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of leukotriene C4 by combining leukotriene A4 with reduced glutathione. The encoded protein is found in the outer nuclear membrane and in the peripheral endoplasmic reticulum. Leukotrienes have been implicated as mediators of anaphylaxis and inflammatory conditions such as bronchial asthma in humans. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ltc4s often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
