General description
Application
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.
It has a high catalytic activity on aggregated substrates compared to monomeric substrates.[3]
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 at 37 °C.
Physical form
Suspension in 3.2 M (NH4)2SO4 solution, pH 5.5

During hypoxic or ischemic renal tubular injury, phospholipase A2 (PLA2) induces membrane deacylation, causing fatty acid accumulation and phospholipid breakdown. Because these changes can compromise cellular integrity, PLA2 activity has been widely proposed as a critical mediator of hypoxic renal
