Abstract Phospholipases A 2 (PLA 2 s) are enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of the sn-2
acyl bond of glycerophospholipids to produce free fatty acids and lysophospholipids …

Snake venom and mammalian secreted phospholipases A 2 (sPLA 2 s) have been
associated with toxic (neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, etc.), pathological (inflammation, cancer …

To date, 12 secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) have been identified in the mouse
species and divided into three structural collections (I/II/V/X, III, and XII). On the basis of their …

Secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) form a large family of structurally related enzymes
which are widespread in nature. Snake venoms are known for decades to contain a …

Secretory phospholipases A 2 (sPLA 2) are structurally related enzymes found in mammals
as well as in insect and snake venoms. They have been associated with several …

Abstract Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyses the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of
glycerophospholipids to yield fatty acids and lysophospholipids. So far, more than 30 …

We examined the relative contributions of five distinct mammalian phospholipase A 2 (PLA
2) enzymes (cytosolic PLA 2 (cPLA 2; type IV), secretory PLA 2 s (sPLA 2 s; types IIA, V, and …

Abstract Phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2) cleave phospholipids preferentially at the sn-2 position,
liberating free fatty acids and lysophospholipids. They are classified into six main groups …

Specific membrane receptors for secretory phospholipases A 2 (sPLA 2 s) have been
initially identified with novel snake venom sPLA 2 s called OS 1 and OS 2. One of these …

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are esterases that hydrolyze the sn-2 ester of
glycerophospholipids and constitute one of the largest families of lipid hydrolyzing enzymes …
