Mammalian genomes encode genes for more than 30 phospholipase A2s (PLA2s) or
related enzymes, which are subdivided into several classes including low-molecular-weight …

Several new PLA2s have been identified based on their nucleotide gene sequences. They
were classified mainly into three groups: cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), secretary PLA2 (sPLA2) …

The phospholipase A2 (PLA2) superfamily contains more than 50 enzymes in mammals that
are subdivided into several distinct families on a structural and biochemical basis. In …

Abstract The phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2) family comprises a group of lipolytic enzymes that
typically hydrolyze the sn-2 position of (glycerol) phospholipids to give rise to fatty acids and …

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2)(EC 3.1. 1.4) catalyzes hydrolysis of the sn-2 ester bond of
glycerophospholipids. The enzyme is essential for the production of two classes of lipid …

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of
glycerophospholipids to produce free fatty acids and lysophospholipids. More than one third …

The group IV phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2) family is comprised of six intracellular enzymes
(GIVA,-B,-C,-D,-E, and-F) commonly referred to as cytosolic PLA 2 (cPLA 2) α,-β,-γ,-δ,-ε, and …

Abstract Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyses the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of
glycerophospholipids to yield fatty acids and lysophospholipids. So far, more than 30 …

Within the phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2) family that hydrolyzes phospholipids to yield fatty
acids and lysophospholipids, secreted PLA 2 (sPLA 2) enzymes comprise the largest group …

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a major constituent of biological membranes and a component
of serum lipoproteins and pulmonary surfactants. The PC and other glycerophospholipid …
