Secretory phospholipases A2 as multivalent mediators of inflammatory and allergic disorders.
International archives of allergy and immunology, 2003 Phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)s) are enzymes responsible for mobilization of fatty acids, including arachidonic acid (AA), from phospholipids. These enzymes are classified as high-molecular-weight cytosolic PLA(2)s (cPLA(2)s) and low-molecular-weight secretory PLA(2)s (sPLA(2)s).

Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.): Gene Expression, Enzymatic Activity, and Relation to Drought Stress Adaptation. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2013 Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are known to mediate signaling cascades during plant growth and development, as well as biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this context, the present study provides extensive characterization of specific PLA2s in durum wheat,

Biology of Secretory Phospholipase A2 [PDF]
Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 2008 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.

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

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.
