Rabbit Anti-PLA2G1B antibody
This gene encodes a secreted member of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) class of enzymes, which is produced by the pancreatic acinar cells. The encoded calcium-dependent enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of membrane glycerophospholipids to release arachidonic acid (AA) and lysophospholipids. AA is subsequently converted by downstream metabolic enzymes to several bioactive lipophilic compounds (eicosanoids), including prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs). The enzyme may be involved in several physiological processes including cell contraction, cell proliferation and pathological response. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
Function:
PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.
Subunit:
Monomer or homodimer (By similarity). The inactive pro-form is a homotrimer.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Post-translational modifications:
Activated by trypsin cleavage in the duodenum. Can also be activated by thrombin or autocatalytically.
Similarity:
Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family.
