Arachidonic acid metabolism. Candidate genes selected for genotyping are indicated along the cysteinyl leukotriene metabolic pathway. LO, lipoxygenase pathway; COX, cyclo-oxygenase pathway; ALOX5, arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase; ALOX5AP, arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein; LTC4S, leukotriene C4 synthase; CYSLTR1, cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1; CYSLTR2, cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2. Cysteinyl leukotriene metabolites are leukotriene B4 (LTB4), leukotriene C4 (LTC4), leukotriene D4 (LTD4), and leukotriene E4 (LTE4).
