Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 0.1% BSA, 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol.

Recombinant corresponding to human PLA2G2A.

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) hydrolyze the sn-2 fatty acid acyl ester bond of phosphoglycerides, releasing free fatty acids and lysophospholipids. They play an important role in a variety of cellular processes, including digestion and metabolism of phospholipids, as well as production of precursors for inflammatory reactions. Phospholipases A2 belongs to PLA2 group II, which consists of extracellular enzymes with low molecular masses that require calcium ions for catalysis.
