mBio, 2023 For its replication within red blood cells, the malaria parasite depends on a highly active and regulated lipid metabolism. Enzymes involved in lipid metabolic processes such as phospholipases are, therefore, potential drug targets.

Lipases and proteases inhibition by Averrhoa carambola L. fruit extracts
Phytomedicine Plus, 2021 Background: Proteases and phospholipases A2 are involved in processes related to hemostasis. Medicinal plants which contain bioactive phytochemicals, can act as enzymatic modulators.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985 During myocardial ischemia increased levels of lysoglycerophospholipids have been reported which may be deleterious to myocardial function. Phospholipases are presumed to be important in the regulation of this process.

A neurotoxic phospholipase A2 impairs yeast amphiphysin activity and reduces endocytosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Presynaptically neurotoxic phospholipases A(2) inhibit synaptic vesicle recycling through endocytosis. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here we provide insight into the action of a presynaptically neurotoxic phospholipase A(2) ammodytoxin A (AtxA) on ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2010 Many pathogenic microbes, including many fungi, produce phospholipases which facilitate survival of the pathogen in vivo, invasion and dissemination throughout the host, expression of virulence traits and evasion of host immune defense mechanisms.

A novel lipase with dual localisation in Trypanosoma brucei
Scientific Reports, 2022 Phospholipases are esterases involved in lipid catabolism. In pathogenic micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi, parasites) they often play a critical role in virulence and pathogenicity. A few phospholipases (PL) have been characterised so far at the gene and

PLoS ONE, 2014 Phospholipases A2 represent the most abundant family of snake venom proteins. They manifest an array of biological activities, which is constantly expanding. We have recently shown that a protein bitanarin, isolated from the venom of the puff adder Bitis

The emerging roles of PAF acetylhydrolase
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a phospholipid autacoid with potent effects throughout the innate immune system, is selectively degraded by two small families of PAF acetylhydrolases (PAF-AHs).
