Receptors, Leukotriene

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Cell-surface receptors that bind LEUKOTRIENES with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. The leukotriene receptor subtypes have been tentatively named according to their affinities for the endogenous leukotrienes LTB4; LTC4; LTD4; and LTE4.  RECEPTORS, LEUKOTRIENE B4 is also available; DF: RECEPT LEUKOTRIENE
