Pla2g16 (NM_139269) Mouse Recombinant Protein

Exhibits both phospholipase A1/2 and acyltransferase activities (PubMed:19047760) . Shows phospholipase A1 (PLA1) and A2 (PLA2), catalyzing the calcium-independent release of fatty acids from the sn-1 or sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids (PubMed:18614531, PubMed:19047760, PubMed:19136964, PubMed:22134920) . For most substrates, PLA1 activity is much higher than PLA2 activity (By similarity) . Shows O-acyltransferase activity, catalyzing the transfer of a fatty acyl group from glycerophospholipid to the hydroxyl group of lysophospholipid (By similarity) . Shows N-acyltransferase activity, catalyzing the calcium-independent transfer of a fatty acyl group at the sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and other glycerophospholipids to the primary amine of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), forming N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE), which serves as precursor for N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) (PubMed:19047760) . Exhibits high N-acyltransferase activity and low phospholipase A1/2 activity (By similarity) .[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]

Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
