Phospholipase A2 as a mechanosensor
Osmotic swelling of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) causes membrane stretching and thus reduces the lateral packing of lipids. This is demonstrated to modulate strongly the catalytic activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) toward a fluorescent phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-[(6-pyren-1-yl)]decanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PPDPC) residing in LUVs ...

Expression of mRNA for phospholipase A(2), cyclooxygenases, and lipoxygenases in cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and in biopsies from umbilical arteries and veins [PDF]
Arachidonic acid (AA) is released by phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and then converted into vasoactive and inflammatory eicosanoids by cyclooxygenases (COX) and lipoxygenases (LOX).

Phospholipase A2 enzyme immobilization
A series of several supports were tested for phospholipase A2 enzyme (Lecitase 100 S- NOVO) immobilization. This system would find a number of industrial applications such as the selective hydrolysis of soybean lecithin to obtain lysophospholipids ...

Phospholipase A2 and inflammation
Increased expression of secreted group II phospholipase A 2 (sPLA2) is associated with inflammation 1.This enzyme can promote a variety of potentially harmful events, which have been attributed to its catalytic activity. However, the possibility that sPLA 2 may also exert actions that do not depend on its catalytic activity has generally not been ...

Synthesis of photoreactive phosphatidylethanolamine and its interaction with phospholipase A2.
A photoreactive derivative of phosphatidylethanolamine, N-(4-azidobenzoyl)phosphatidylethanolamine (AB-PE), was synthesized by acylation of phosphatidylethanolamine with an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of 4-azidobenzoic acid.

Mammalian Phospholipase A2: Phospholipase A2 Receptor
The phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein related to the C-type animal lectin family such as the mannose receptor. PLA2R regulates a variety of biological responses elicited by secretory phospholipase A2s (sPLA2s). Group IB sPLA2 acts as an endogenous ligand to induce cell proliferation and lipid mediator production ...

Carbodiimide modification enhances activity of pig pancreatic phospholipase A2
Pig phospholipase A2, pig iso-phospholipase A2 and bovine pancreatic phospholipase A2 were reacted in solution with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, in the presence of N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide, at pH 7.
