Gene Information

General description

Phospholipase A2 is a small disulfide-rich protein having 124 residues. It is a calcium-dependent enzyme.

Application

Phospholipase A2 has been used in phospholipase assay and to determine rat renal proximal tubular segments (PTS) viability during oxygenation and hypoxia-reoxygenation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hydrolyzes the β-ester bond of zwitterionic glycerophospholipids. Preferred substrates are phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and their plasmalogen analogues. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine are also hydrolyzed. Aggressively attacks phospholipids in membranes of intact cells.
It has a high catalytic activity on aggregated substrates compared to monomeric substrates.

Physical form

Suspension in 3.2 M (NH4)2SO4 solution, pH 5.5

Analysis Note

Protein determined by biuret.

Other Notes

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of soybean L-α-phosphatidylcholine to L-α-lysophosphatidylcholine and a fatty acid per min at pH 8.0 at 37 °C.
