Leukotrienes are a family of eicosanoid inflammatory mediators produced in leukocytes by the oxidation of arachidonic acid by the enzyme arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase. As their name implies, leukotrienes were first discovered in leukocytes, but have since been found in other immune cells.n cells that express LTC4 synthase, such as mast cells and eosinophils, LTA 4 is conjugated with the tripeptide glutathione to form the first of the cysteinyl-leukotrienes, LTC 4. Outside the cell, LTC 4 can be converted by ubiquitous enzymes to form successively LTD 4 and LTE 4, which retain biological activity.
