Comments
Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=Q86XP0-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q86XP0-2; Sequence=VSP_019881, VSP_019882; Note=May be due to an intron retention. Ref.2 (AAH34571) sequence is in conflict in position: 713:G->R. ;
Catalytic ActivityPhosphatidylcholine + H(2)O = 1- acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate.
DomainThe N-terminal C2 domain associates with lipid membranes upon calcium binding. It modulates enzyme activity by presenting the active site to its substrate in response to elevations of cytosolic Ca(2+) (By similarity).
Enzyme RegulationStimulated by cytosolic Ca(2+).
FunctionCalcium-dependent phospholipase A2 that selectively hydrolyzes glycerophospholipids in the sn-2 position. Not arachidonic acid-specific but has linoleic acid-specific activity. May play a role in inflammation in psoriatic lesions.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAH34571.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended.; Evidence= ;
SimilarityContains 1 C2 domain. {ECO
SimilarityContains 1 PLA2c domain. {ECO
Subcellular LocationCytoplasm, cytosol. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane {ECO
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in stratified squamous epithelia, such as those in skin and cervix, but not in other tissues. Strongly expressed in the upper spinous layer of the psoriatic epidermis, expressed weakly and discontinuously in atopic dermatitis and mycosis fungoides, and not detected in the epidermis of normal skin.
