Lysosomal phospholipase A2 (PLA2G15) is a ubiquitous enzyme uniquely characterized by a subcellular localization to the lysosome and late endosome. PLA2G15 has an acidic pH optimum, is calcium independent, and acts as a transacylase in the presence of N-acetyl-sphingosine as an acceptor.

Lysosomal Phospholipase A2 and Phospholipidosis [PDF]
A lysosomal phospholipase A2, LPLA2, was recently characterized and shown to have substrate specificity for phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. LPLA2 is ubiquitously expressed but is most highly expressed in alveolar macrophages. Double conditional gene targeting was employed to elucidate the function of LPLA2. LPLA2-deficient mice (Lpla2-

Abstract Background The lateral maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) procedure has good predictability in terms of the success of bone regeneration with a low incidence of postoperative infections, estimated between 2% and 5.6%. Although the use of antibiotics is an established and standardized prophylactic measure for MSA procedures, the addition of ...

Secreted phospholipase A2 revisited [PDF]
Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) catalyses the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids to yield fatty acids and lysophospholipids. So far, more than 30 enzymes that possess PLA(2) or related activity have been identified in mammals. About one third of these enzymes belong to the secreted PLA(2) (sPLA(2)) family, which comprises low molecular

Transduction efficiency and immune responses hinder the application of recombinant adeno‐associated viral (rAAV) vectors in gene therapy. Here, Han et al. describe a new combined strategy for AAV capsid engineering and obtain several AAV variants with higher liver transduction efficiency and less immune activation.

Phospholipase A2 isolated from the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus inactivates dengue virus and other enveloped viruses by disrupting the viral envelope. [PDF]
The Flaviviridae family includes several virus pathogens associated with human diseases worldwide. Within this family, Dengue virus is the most serious threat to public health, especially in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.

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 ...
