Literature on PLA2G5
PLA2G5 [ENSP00000364249]
Calcium-dependent phospholipase A2; PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. This isozyme hydrolyzes more efficiently L-alpha-1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine than L- alpha-1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylcholine, L-alpha-1- palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylethanolamine, or L-alpha-1- stearoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylinositol. May be involved in the production of lung surfactant, the remodeling or regulation of cardiac muscle.
Synonyms: PLA2G5, PLA2G5p, hPLA2G5, P39877, P39877p ...
