NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is an A2 phospholipase, a class of enzyme that catalyzes the release of fatty acids from phospholipids. The encoded protein may play a role in phospholipid remodelling, arachidonic acid release, leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis, fas-mediated apoptosis, and transmembrane ion flux in glucose-stimulated B-cells. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been described, but the full-length nature of only three of them have been determined to date. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
Uniprot Description
PLA2G6: Catalyzes the release of fatty acids from phospholipids. It has been implicated in normal phospholipid remodeling, nitric oxide-induced or vasopressin-induced arachidonic acid release and in leukotriene and prostaglandin production. May participate in fas mediated apoptosis and in regulating transmembrane ion flux in glucose-stimulated B-cells. Has a role in cardiolipin (CL) deacylation. Required for both speed and directionality of monocyte MCP1/CCL2-induced chemotaxis through regulation of F- actin polymerization at the pseudopods. Defects in PLA2G6 are the cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation type 2B (NBIA2B). A neurodegenerative disorder associated with iron accumulation in the brain, primarily in the basal ganglia. It is characterized by progressive extrapyramidal dysfunction leading to rigidity, dystonia, dysarthria and sensorimotor impairment. Defects in PLA2G6 are the cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation type 2A (NBIA2A); also known as Seitelberger disease. NBIA2A is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by pathologic axonal swelling and spheroid bodies in the central nervous system. Onset is within the first 2 years of life with death by age 10 years. Defects in PLA2G6 are the cause of Parkinson disease type 14 (PARK14). An adult-onset progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by parkinsonism, dystonia, severe cognitive decline, cerebral and cerebellar atrophy and absent iron in the basal ganglia on magnetic resonance imaging. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human PLA2G6 pla2g6 (Catalog #AAA9310229) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9310229 ELISA Kit recognizes Human PLA2G6. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "phospholipase A2, group VI (cytosolic, calcium-independent), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
