5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) possesses dual lipoxygenase activity (Shimizu et al. 1984). In polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells, ALOX5 can epoxygenate (via dehydration) 4(S)-hydroperoxy-17(R)-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (4(S)-Hp-17(R)-HDHA) to form 4S(5)-epoxy-17(R)-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (4S(5)-epoxy-17(R)-HDHA (Serhan et al. 2002).
