Exploration of the pearl millet phospholipase gene family to identify potential candidates for grain quality traits

BMC Genomics
Background Phospholipases constitute a diverse category of enzymes responsible for the breakdown of phospholipids. Their involvement in signal transduction with a pivotal role in plant development and stress responses is well documented.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in health and disease

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
Phospholipases are widely occurring and can be found in several different organisms, including bacteria, yeast, plants, animals, and viruses. Phospholipase C (PLC) is a class of phospholipases that cleaves phospholipids on the diacylglycerol (DAG) side ...

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.

Differentiation of phospholipases A in mitochondria and lysosomes of rat liver

Journal of Lipid Research, 1969
Highly purified mitochondria from rat liver contain a phospholipase A that catalyzes removal of 2-fatty acids, with a pH optimum above pH 8.0. Lysosomal preparations appeared to have two phospholipases A associated with them, one with a pH optimum at ...

Phospholipase B activity of a purified phospholipase A from Vipera palestinae venom

Journal of Lipid Research, 1973
Phospholipase was isolated (in two fractions) from Vipera palestinae venom and it was shown to possess phospholipase A activity (hydrolyzing diacyl-sn-glycerophosphorylcholines, e.g., lecithin, in the 2-position) as well as lysophospholipase (phospholipase B) activity (hydrolyzing 1-monoacyl-sn-glycerophosphorylcholines, e.g., lysolecithin, yielding ...
