General description
Phospholipase A2 from bovine pancreas is a calcium-dependent lipolytic enzyme.
Application
Phospholipase A2 from bovine pancreas has been used to determine rat renal proximal tubular segments (PTS) viability during oxygenation and hypoxia-reoxygenation and to study the impact of phospholipase A2 on tubular cell triglyceride levels.
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.
Packaging
Package size based on protein content
Unit Definition
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 and 37 °C.
Physical form
Contains Tris buffer salts.
Analysis Note
Protein determined by biuret.
