Relation of lipid structure of sarcotubular vesicles to Ca++ transport activity
Journal of Lipid Research, 1968 The role of lipids of the sarcotubular membranes in their Ca++ uptake and Mg-ATPase activities was investigated. Treatment of the membranes with phospholipase C inhibits both processes. Treatment with phospholipase A and phospholipase D, which results in

Substrate-Specific Inhibition Constants for Phospholipase A2 Acting on Unique Phospholipid Substrates in Mixed Micelles and Membranes Using Lipidomics. [PDF]
, 2019 Assaying lipolytic enzymes is extremely challenging because they act on water-insoluble lipid substrates, which are normally components of micelles, vesicles, and cellular membranes.

Updating Phospholipase A2 Biology [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 The phospholipase A2 (PLA2) superfamily contains more than 50 enzymes in mammals that are subdivided into several distinct families on a structural and biochemical basis. In principle, PLA2 has the capacity to hydrolyze the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids to release fatty acids and lysophospholipids, yet several enzymes in this superfamily ...

Pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity in acute pancreatitis: A prognostic marker for early identification of patients at risk [PDF]
, 2002 Remarkably elevated levels of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) are measurable in human blood samples in cases of acute pancreatitis. The source of the enzyme was first thought to be exclusively the pancreas, but now it is generally accepted that two ...

Intestinal Phospholipase, a Novel Enzyme [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1982 We evaluated phospholipase activity in the intestine of rats and other species. Phospholipase activity was assayed by a surface barostat technique or an egg yolk titration system. Mucosal activity was found only by the surface barostat technique with phosphatidylglycerol as substrate; it was not found with phosphatidylcholine as substrate in assays by ...

Phospholipase A from Bee Venom [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1971 The phospholipase A from the venom of the common European honey bee (Apis mellifica) has been completely purified. The final product (13 g from 700 g of crude venom) readily crystallizes and is homogeneous with respect to starch gel electrophoresis at pH 8.0, isoelectric focussing in polyacrylamide gel in the pH range 3–10, and sedimentation and ...
