Recombinant Rat Calcium-dependent phospholipase A2(Pla2g5)

PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. This isozyme hydrolyzes L-alpha-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine more efficiently than L-alpha-1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylcholine, L-alpha-1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylethanolamine or L-alpha-1-stearoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylinositol.
