A portion of amino acids 106-135 from human PLA2G2A were used as the immunogen for the PLA2 antibody.
Secretory PLA2G2A is thought to participate in the regulation of the phospholipid metabolism in biomembranes including eicosanoid biosynthesis. Catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2- acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.
