what reactions do Phospholipase A2 catalyze
Phospholipase A 2 is one of the most intensively studied membrane proteins which hydrolyzes phospholipids at the sn-2 position to form fatty acid and lysophospholipid products.hospholipase A 2 proteins are of high pharmaceutical concern since they are responsible for the release of arachidonic acid from membranes, and since the subsequent conversion of this fatty acid to leukotrienes and prostaglandins is part of the inflammatory response.
