Comments
Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityPhosphatidylcholine + H(2)O = 1- acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate. {ECO
CofactorName=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI
FunctionThought to participate in the regulation of the phospholipid metabolism in biomembranes including eicosanoid biosynthesis. Catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2- acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.
MiscellaneousGroup II phospholipase A2 is found in many cells and also extracellularly. The membrane-bound and secreted forms are identical and are encoded by a single gene.
SimilarityBelongs to the phospholipase A2 family.
Subcellular LocationMembrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
