Pla2g2f (NM_012045) Mouse Recombinant Protein

May play a role in lipid mediator production in inflammatory conditions, by providing arachidonic acid to downstream cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases. Phospholipase A2, which catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides (PubMed:10531313) . Hydrolyzes phosphatidylethanolamine more efficiently than phosphatidylcholine, with only a modest preference for arachidonic acid versus linoelic acid at the sn-2 position. Comparable activity toward 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylserine vesicles to that toward 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylglycerol (PubMed:11877435) . Prefers phosphatidylglycerol compared to phosphatidylcholine (PubMed:10531313) .[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
