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 ...

The effect of experimental hyperoxia on erythrocytes’ oxygen-transport function [PDF]

, 2018
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperoxia, calcium ions and pH value on the composition of major phospholipids in human erythrocyte membranes and erythrocytes’ oxygen-transport function. To create a model of hyperoxia, we saturated

Apolipoprotein F is reduced in humans with steatosis and controls plasma triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein metabolism

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

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 ...

Phospholipases A₁.

International journal of molecular sciences, 2014
Phospholipase A(1) (PLA(1)) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids and produces 2-acyl-lysophospholipids and fatty acids. This lipolytic activity is conserved in a wide range of organisms but is carried out by a diverse set of PLA(1) enzymes. Where their function is known, PLA(1)s have been shown to act as digestive enzymes, possess central roles ...

Synaptic lipid signaling

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Neuronal cellular and intracellular membranes are rich in specialized phospholipids that are reservoirs of lipid messengers released by specific phospholipases and stimulated by neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors, cytokines, membrane depolarization,
