A single reaction product was formed during the incubation of 1.5 .mu.M (5S,12R)-dihydroxy-6,14-cis-8,10-trans-[3H]icosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene B4, LTB4) for 30 min at 37.degree. C in 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) with 100 .mu.M NADPH and the 150,000 .times. g supernatant of sonicated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). The reaction product exhibited the same mobility on reversed-phase HPLC [high performance liquid chromatography] (RP-HPLC) and TLC as standard 20-hydroxy-LTB4 (20-OH-LTB4). When the .omega.-oxidation product of [3H]LTB4 was eluted from a Sep-Pak, resolved by RP-HPLC, and analyzed by GC/MS [gas chromatography/mass spectrometry], its structure was determined to be solely 20-OH-LTB4. The Km of the 20-hydroxylase for [3H]LTB4 at its optimal pH of 7.5 was 0.22 .+-. 0.88 .mu.M (mean .+-. SD, n = 4) and the Vmax was 48 .+-. 11 pmol/min .cntdot. mg of protein (mean .+-. SD, n = 4). When the concentration of [3H]LTB4 was fixed at 1.5 .mu.M, the Km for NADPH was 1.01 .+-. 0.59 .mu.M (mean .+-. SD, n = 3). The location in the 150,000 .times. g supernatant of the LTB4 20-hydroxylase distinguishes it from the cytochrome P-450 system of liver, lung and kidney microsomes and from the NADPH oxidase-cytochrome b-245 system of the human PMN. The LTB4 20-hydroxylase is either a unique cytochrome P-450 or other monooxygenase.
