Background
| Function | FUNCTION: Catalyzes the conjugation of leukotriene A4 with reduced glutathione (GSH) to form leukotriene C4 with high specificity (PubMed:7937884, PubMed:27791009, PubMed:27365393, PubMed:9153254, PubMed:23409838). Can also catalyzes the transfer of a glutathionyl group from glutathione (GSH) to 13(S),14(S)-epoxy-docosahexaenoic acid to form maresin conjugate in tissue regeneration 1 (MCTR1), a bioactive lipid mediator that possess potent anti-inflammatory and proresolving actions (PubMed:27791009). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23409838, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27365393, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27791009, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7937884, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9153254}. |
| Pathway | Lipid metabolism; leukotriene C4 biosynthesis. |
| Protein Families | MAPEG family |
| Tissue Specificity | Detected in lung, platelets and the myelogenous leukemia cell line KG-1 (at protein level). LTC4S activity is present in eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, certain phagocytic mononuclear cells, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and platelets. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7599836}. |
