Hydrolyzes an epoxide moiety of leukotriene A4 (LTA-4) to form leukotriene B4 (LTB-4). The enzyme also has some peptidase activity. Ref.7 Ref.10 Ref.11

Catalytic activity

(7E,9E,11Z,14Z)-(5S,6S)-5,6-epoxyicosa-7,9,11,14-tetraenoate + H2O = (6Z,8E,10E,14Z)-(5S,12R)-5,12-dihydroxyicosa-6,8,10,14-tetraenoate. Ref.7

Cofactor

Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.

Pathway

Lipid metabolism; leukotriene B4 biosynthesis.

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase M1 family.
