DESCRIPTION

Also known as PA24B_HUMAN, PLA2G4B. Calcium-dependent phospholipase A1 and A2 and lysophospholipase that may play a role in membrane phospholipid remodeling., Calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 and lysophospholipase. Cleaves the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached to the sn-2 position of phosphatidylethanolamines, producing lysophospholipids that may be used in deacylation-reacylation cycles. Hydrolyzes lysophosphatidylcholines with low efficiency but is inefficient toward phosphatidylcholines., Calcium-dependent phospholipase A1 and A2 and lysophospholipase. Cleaves the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached to the sn-1 or sn-2 position of diacyl phospholipids (phospholipase A1 and A2 activity, respectively), producing lysophospholipids that may be used in deacylation-reacylation cycles. Can further hydrolyze lysophospholipids enabling complete deacylation. Has no activity toward alkylacyl phospholipids.
