Protein
Phospholipase A2, major isoenzyme
Function
PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides, this releases glycerophospholipids and arachidonic acid that serve as the precursors of signal molecules.
Similarity
Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family.
