Gene ID
Species
Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis)
Gene Name
phospholipase A2-alpha
Gene Symbol
Synonyms
ATSPLA2-ALPHA; PHOSPHOLIPASE A2-ALPHA; PLA2-ALPHA
Alternate Names
phospholipase A2-alpha
Chromosome
2
EC Number
3.1.1.4
Summary
Encodes a secretory phospholipase A2 enzyme, which specifically hydrolyzes the sn-2 position of phospholipids. The enzyme has a preference towards linoleoyl acyl chain over palmitoyl acyl chain. It also has a slight preference for phosphatidylcholine over phosphatidylethanolamine.

| Function | PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2- acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Releases lysophospholipids (LPLs) and free fatty acids (FFAs) from membrane phospholipids in response to hormones and other external stimuli. Modulates the trafficking of PIN proteins to the plasma membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16140037, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20525850}. |
| Miscellaneous | The enzyme has a preference towards linoleoyl acyl chain over palmitoyl acyl chain. It also has a slight preference for phosphatidylethanolamine over phosphatidylcholine. |
