description Product Description

Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) plays a significant role in inflammatory and allergic responses, particularly in the respiratory system. It is a potent bronchoconstrictor, causing narrowing of the airways, which contributes to symptoms in conditions like asthma. LTD4 is involved in the pathogenesis of asthma by promoting inflammation, mucus secretion, and airway hyperresponsiveness. It is also implicated in other allergic reactions, such as allergic rhinitis and anaphylaxis. In medical research, LTD4 is studied to better understand its mechanisms and to develop targeted therapies. Drugs like leukotriene receptor antagonists (e.g., montelukast) are designed to block the effects of LTD4, providing relief for asthma and allergy patients. Additionally, LTD4 is used in laboratory settings to model inflammatory diseases and test the efficacy of new anti-inflammatory drugs. Its role in immune regulation also makes it a focus in studies related to autoimmune disorders and chronic inflammation.
