Molecular Weight: 50077

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: PLA2G7

Gene ID: 7941

Function: Lipoprotein-associated calcium-independent phospholipase A2 involved in phospholipid catabolism during inflammatory and oxidative stress response (PubMed:7700381, PubMed:8624782, PubMed:2040620, PubMed:16371369, PubMed:17090529, PubMed:10066756) . At the lipid- aqueous interface, hydrolyzes the ester bond of fatty acyl group attached at sn-2 position of phospholipids (phospholipase A2 activity) (PubMed:2040620, PubMed:10504265) . Specifically targets phospholipids with a short-chain fatty acyl group at sn-2 position (PubMed:2040620) . Can hydrolyze phospholipids with long fatty acyl chains, only if they carry oxidized functional groups (PubMed:2040620, PubMed:8624782) . Hydrolyzes and inactivates platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl- 2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), a potent proinflammatory signaling lipid that acts through PTAFR on various innate immune cells (PubMed:10504265, PubMed:10066756, PubMed:7592717, PubMed:11590221, PubMed:7700381, PubMed:18434304, PubMed:16371369, PubMed:8675689, PubMed:8624782) . Hydrolyzes oxidatively truncated phospholipids carrying an aldehyde group at omega position, preventing their accumulation in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles and uncontrolled proinflammatory effects (PubMed:2040620, PubMed:7700381) . As part of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, can hydrolyze phospholipids having long-chain fatty acyl hydroperoxides at sn-2 position and protect against potential accumulation of these oxylipins in the vascular wall (PubMed:17090529) . Catalyzes the release from membrane phospholipids of F2-isoprostanes, lipid biomarkers of cellular oxidative damage (PubMed:16371369) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Plasma (PubMed:11590221, PubMed:12821559) . Secreted by macrophages (at protein level) (PubMed:11590221)
