| receptors, leukotriene | Cell-surface receptors that bind leukotrienes with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behaviour of cells. The leukotriene receptor subtypes have been tentatively named according to their affinities for the endogenous leukotrienes ltb4, ltc4, ltd4, and lte4. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| receptors, leukotriene b4 | A class of cell surface leukotriene receptors with a preference for leukotriene b4. Leukotriene b4 receptor activation influences chemotaxis, chemokinesis, adherence, enzyme release, oxidative bursts, and degranulation in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. There are at least two subtypes of these receptors. Some actions are mediated through the inositol phosphate and diacylglycerol second messenger systems. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukotriene | Any of a group of hormonesderived from arachidonate (arachidonic acid).They are thought to mediate the allergic response that causes lungconstriction and muscle contraction in asthma. (09 Oct 1997) |

| leukotriene a4 | (2s-(2 alpha,3 beta(1e,3e,5z,8z)))-3-(1,3,5,8-tetradecatetraenyl)oxiranebutanoic acid. An unstable allylic epoxide, formed from the immediate precursor 5-hpete via the stereospecific removal of a proton at c-10 and dehydration. Its biological actions are determined primarily by its metabolites, i.e., leukotriene b4 and cysteinyl-leukotrienes. Alternatively, leukotriene a4 is converted into leukotriene c4 by glutathione-s-transferase or into 5,6-di-hete by the epoxide-hydrolase. (12 Dec 1998) |

The conjugation product of leukotriene a4 and glutathione. It is the major arachidonic acid metabolite in macrophages and human mast cells as well as in antigen-sensitised lung tissue. It stimulates mucus secretion in the lung, and produces contractions of nonvascular and some vascular smooth muscle. Chemical name: Glycine, N-(S-(1-(4-carboxy-1-hydroxybutyl)-2,4,6,9-pentadecatetraenyl)-N-L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl)-, (R-(R*,S*-(E,E,Z,Z)))- (12 Dec 1998) |

It is generated from leukotriene c4 after partial hydrolysis of the peptide chain, i.e., cleavage of the gamma-glutamyl portion. Its biological actions include stimulation of vascular and nonvascular smooth muscle, and increases in vascular permeability.

| adrenergic receptors | Reactive components of effector tissues, most of which are innervated by adrenergic postganglionic fibres of the sympathetic nervous system. Such receptor's can be activated by norepinephrine and/or epinephrine and by various adrenergic drugs; receptor activation results in a change in effector tissue function, such as contraction of arteriolar muscles or relaxation of bronchial muscles; adrenergic receptor's are divided into alpha-receptor's and beta-receptor's, on the basis of their response to various adrenergic activating and blocking agents. Synonym: adrenoceptor, adrenoreceptors. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha-adrenergic receptors | Adrenergic receptor's in effector tissues capable of selective activation and blockade by drugs; conceptually derived from the ability of certain agents, such as phenoxybenzamine, to block only some adrenergic receptor's and of other agents, such as methoxamine, to activate only the same adrenergic receptor's. Such receptor's are designated as alpha-receptors. Their activation results in physiological responses such as increased peripheral vascular resistance, mydriasis, and contraction of pilomotor muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ANP clearance receptors | Cell surface proteins that bind atrial natriuretic peptide and ANP fragments without initiating biological action. (05 Mar 2000) |
