Leukotrienit
Leukotrienes are a group of biologically active lipids that are released from cell membranes by the action of enzymes. They are synthesized from arachidonic acid, a fatty acid found in cell membranes. Leukotrienes play a significant role in inflammatory and allergic responses.
The primary cells involved in the synthesis and release of leukotrienes are mast cells, eosinophils, basophils,
Cysteinyl leukotrienes exert their effects by binding to specific G protein-coupled receptors on target cells, including
Leukotrienes are also implicated in other inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis. The
