Molecular Characterization of Three Novel Phospholipase A2 Proteins from the Venom of Atheris chlorechis, Atheris nitschei and Atheris squamigera [PDF]

, 2016
Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is known as a major component of snake venoms and displays higher-order catalytic hydrolysis functions as well as a wide range of pathological effects.

Substrate-Specific Inhibition Constants for Phospholipase A2 Acting on Unique Phospholipid Substrates in Mixed Micelles and Membranes Using Lipidomics. [PDF]

, 2019
Assaying lipolytic enzymes is extremely challenging because they act on water-insoluble lipid substrates, which are normally components of micelles, vesicles, and cellular membranes.

Subcellular localization of the phospholipases A of rat heart: evidence for a cytosolic phospholipase A1.

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.

2-Oxoesters: A Novel Class of Potent and Selective Inhibitors of Cytosolic Group IVA Phospholipase A2. [PDF]

, 2017
Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (GIVA cPLA2) is the only PLA2 that exhibits a marked preference for hydrolysis of arachidonic acid containing phospholipid substrates releasing free arachidonic acid and lysophospholipids and giving rise to the generation of ...

Evaluation of the Brazilian functional fruit Morinda citrifolia as phospholipases A2 and proteases modulator

Phytomedicine Plus, 2021
Morinda citrifolia is a plant widely consumed as food and used in folk medicine. However, there is little scientific information regarding its therapeutic properties. In this study, aqueous extracts from the peel and pulp of M.

Pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity in acute pancreatitis: A prognostic marker for early identification of patients at risk [PDF]

, 2002
Remarkably elevated levels of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) are measurable in human blood samples in cases of acute pancreatitis. The source of the enzyme was first thought to be exclusively the pancreas, but now it is generally accepted that two ...

Loss of hepatic SMLR1 causes hepatosteatosis and protects against atherosclerosis due to decreased hepatic VLDL secretion

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...

An amphitropic cAMP-binding protein in yeast mitochondria [PDF]

, 1989
: We describe the first example of a mitochondrial protein with a covalently attached phos-phatidylinositol moiety acting as a membrane anchor. The protein can be metabolically labeled with both stearic acid and inositol.
