Background

PLA2G4A (Phospholipase A2, Group IVA), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PLA2G4A gene. Tay et al. (1995) mapped the PLA2G4A gene to rat chromosome 13 by PCR-based intercross genotyping and to human 1q25 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. By site-ed mutagenesis and biochemical analysis of the recombinant protein, Sharp et al. (1994) determined that ser228 participates in the catalytic mechanism of cPLA2 and that both the phospholipase A2 and the lysophospholipase activities are catalyzed by the same active site residue (s) . PLA2G4A, the cytosolic phospholipase A2, appears to subserve transmembrane signaling responses to extracellular ligands (Skorecki, 1995) .

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in various tissues such as macrophages, platelets, neutrophils, fibroblasts and lung endothelium.

Applications

WB

Field of Research

Signaling Pathway, Vascular Inflammation

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Selectively hydrolyzes arachidonyl phospholipids in the sn-2 position releasing arachidonic acid. Together with its lysophospholipid activity, it is implicated in the initiation of the inflammatory response.
