Nucleus matrix {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917}. Nucleus membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917}. Nucleus envelope {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917}. Nucleus intermembrane space {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917}. Note=Shuttles between cytoplasm and nucleus. Found exclusively in the nucleus, when phosphorylated on Ser- 272. Calcium binding promotes translocation from the cytosol and the nuclear matrix to the nuclear envelope and membrane association. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917}. DR UNIPROT: P12527; DR Pfam: PF00305; DR Pfam: PF01477; DR PROSITE: PS00711; DR PROSITE: PS00081; DR PROSITE: PS51393; DR PROSITE: PS50095; DE Function: Catalyzes the oxygenation of arachidonate to 5- hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoate (5-HPETE) followed by the dehydration to 5,6- epoxyeicosatetraenoate (Leukotriene A4/LTA4), the first two steps in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes, which are potent mediators of inflammation. Also catalyzes the oxygenation of arachidonate into 8- hydroperoxyicosatetraenoate (8-HPETE) and 12- hydroperoxyicosatetraenoate (12-HPETE). Displays lipoxin synthase activity being able to convert (15S)-HETE into a conjugate tetraene. Although arachidonate is the preferred substrate, this enzyme can also metabolize oxidized fatty acids derived from arachidonate such as (15S)-HETE, eicosapentaenoate (EPA) such as (18R)- and (18S)-HEPE or docosahexaenoate (DHA) which lead to the formation of specialized pro- resolving mediators (SPM) lipoxin and resolvins E and D respectively, therefore it participates in anti-inflammatory responses (By similarity). Oxidation of DHA directly inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and sprouting angiogenesis via peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). It does not catalyze the oxygenation of linoleic acid and does not convert (5S)-HETE to lipoxin isomers. In addition to inflammatory processes, it participates in dendritic cell migration, wound healing through an antioxidant mechanism based on heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) regulation expression, monocyte adhesion to the endothelium via ITGAM expression on monocytes. Moreover, it helps establish an adaptive humoral immunity by regulating primary resting B cells and follicular helper T cells and participates in the CD40-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after CD40 ligation in B cells through interaction with PIK3R1 that bridges ALOX5 with CD40. May also play a role in glucose homeostasis, regulation of insulin secretion and palmitic acid-induced insulin resistance via AMPK. Can regulate bone mineralization and fat cell differentiation increases in induced pluripotent stem cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09917, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P48999}.
