In enzymology a leukotriene-B4 20-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.30) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(6Z8E10E14Z)-(5S12R)-512-dihydroxyicosa-681014-tetraenoate + NADPH + H+ + O2 (6Z8E10E14Z)-(5S12R)-51220-trihydroxyicosa-681014- tetraenoate + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are (6Z8E10E14Z)-(5S12R)-512-dihydroxyicosa-681014-tetraenoate NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 4 products are (6Z8E10E14Z)-(5S12R)-51220-trihydroxyicosa-681014- tetraenoate NADP+ and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
