Protein
Probable phospholipase A2 homolog 2
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Function
PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Releases lysophospholipids (LPLs) and free fatty acids (FFAs) from membrane phospholipids in response to hormones and other external stimuli.
Similarity
Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family.
