Name
phospholipase A2 activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
lecithinase A activity, phosphatidase activity, phosphatidolipase activity, phosphatidylcholine 2-acylhydrolase activity, cytosolic phospholipase A2 activity, phospholipase A2 activity (consuming 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine), phospholipase A2 activity consuming 1,2-dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine), secreted phospholipase A2 activity
Alternate IDs

Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid + H2O = 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid + a fatty acid. This reaction removes the fatty acid attached to the sn2-position. Substrates include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, choline plasmalogen and phosphatides. Source: RHEA:15801
