The localization of phospholipase A2 in the secretory granule [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1994
A heat-resistant phospholipase A2 has been detected in the secretory granules of the mast cell [Chock, Rhee, Tang and Schmauder-Chock (1991) Eur. J. Biochem. 195, 707-713]. By using ultrastructural immunocytochemical techniques, we have now localized this enzyme to the matrix of the secretory granule. Like the cyclo-oxygenase [Schmauder-Chock and Chock

Biology of secretory phospholipase A2. [PDF]

Cardiovasc Drugs Ther, 2009
The secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) family provides a seemingly endless array of potential biological functions that is only beginning to be appreciated. In humans, this family comprises 9 different members that vary in their tissue distribution, hydrolytic activity, and phospholipid substrate specificity.

Spinal phospholipase A2 in inflammatory hyperalgesia: Role of the small, secretory phospholipase A2 [PDF]

Neuroscience, 2005
Current work emphasizes that peripheral tissue injury and inflammation results in a heightened sensitivity to subsequent noxious input (hyperalgesia) that is mediated in large part by the spinal synthesis and release of eicosanoids, in particular prostaglandins.

Secretory Phospholipase A2s in Insulin Resistance and Metabolism [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
The phospholipases A2 (PLA2) superfamily encompasses enzymes commonly found in mammalian tissues and snake venom. Many of these enzymes have unique tissue distribution, function, and substrate specificity suggesting distinct biological roles. In the past, much of the research on secretory PLA2s has analyzed their roles in inflammation, anti-bacterial ...

Inhibition of Untransformed Prostaglandin H2 Production and Stretch-Induced Contraction of Rabbit Pulmonary Arteries by Indoxam, a Selective Secretory Phospholipase A2 Inhibitor

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
Involvement of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) in the stretch-induced production of untransformed prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) in the endothelium of rabbit pulmonary arteries was investigated.

Secretory Phospholipase A2

Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2004
Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is a growing family of structurally related, disulfide-rich, low molecular weight, lipolytic enzymes with a His-Asp catalytic dyad. sPLA2s are distributed in a wide variety of vertebrate and invertebrate animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses, and there are 10 catalytically active sPLA2 isozymes in mammals.

Secretory non-pancreatic phospholipase A2: influence on lipoprotein metabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
Lipoprotein metabolism is markedly altered during inflammation. The concentration of human secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) can increase hundreds of fold in inflammatory fluids and in the circulation.

Identification of caspase 3 motifs and critical aspartate residues in human Phospholipase D1b and Phopsholipase D2a [PDF]

, 2008
Stimulation of mammalian cells frequently initiates phospholipase D-catalysed hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine in the plasma membrane to yield phosphatidic acid (PA) a novel lipid messenger.

Mechanism(s) of activation of secretory phospholipase A2s in mouse keratinocytes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
The differential activation of different members of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) superfamily and their regulation are important as one or more of them regulates the production of eicosanoids and others may contribute to the formation of other lipid ...
