| Function | PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2- acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Has a powerful potency for releasing arachidonic acid from cell membrane phospholipids. Prefers phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine liposomes to those of phosphatidylserine. |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted. |
| Tissue Specificity | Found in spleen, thymus, peripheral blood leukocytes, pancreas, lung, and colon. |
| Top Pathways | Vascular smooth muscle contraction, Pancreatic secretion, Fat digestion and absorption, Ether lipid metabolism, Glycerophospholipid metabolism |
