Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a rare autoimmune disease of podocyte-directed antibodies, such as anti-phospholipase A2 receptor. Here, the authors report a genome-wide association study for MN and identify two previously unreported loci encompassing the

Expression of Phospholipase A2 Receptor in Pediatric Hepatitis B Virus-Related Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
Purpose Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is among etiologies of secondary membranous nephropathy (MN) in pediatric patients. We evaluated expression of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), a specific target antigen of primary MN, in pediatric HBV-related ...

Phospholipase A2 affects the activity of fusicoccin receptors [PDF]
Biochemical properties of fusicoccin receptors are strongly influenced by the phospholipid environment. In this report we have studied the effect of different exogenous phospholipases on fusicoccin binding ability of both plasma membrane and solubilised receptors.

Group V Phospholipase A2 Induces Leukotriene Biosynthesis in Human Neutrophils through the Activation of Group IVA Phospholipase A2 [PDF]
We reported previously that exogenously added human group V phospholipase A2 (hVPLA2) could elicit leukotriene B4 (LTB4) biosynthesis in human neutrophils (Han, S. K., Kim, K. P., Koduri, R., Bittova, L., Munoz, N. M., Leff, A. R., Wilton, D. C., Gelb, M.
