NCBI Description
hydrolyzes acyl group at the sn-2 position of phospholipids, forming non-esterified fatty acids and lysophospholipids; plays a critical role in inflammation; induces proliferation of smooth muscle cells [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
Catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides (PubMed:3356705). Thought to participate in the regulation of phospholipid metabolism in biomembranes including eicosanoid biosynthesis. Acts as a ligand for integrins. Binds to and activates integrins ITGAV:ITGB3, ITGA4:ITGB1 and ITGA5:ITGB1. Independent of its catalytic activity, activates integrins by binding to a site (site 2) which is distinct from the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) and inducing integrin conformational changes and enhanced ligand binding to site 1. Induces cell proliferation in an integrin-dependent manner ().
Product Notes
The Pla2g2a pla2g2a (Catalog #
AAA1488623) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Rabbit anti-rat Phospholipase A2, membrane associated polyclonal Antibody, HRP conjugated reacts with Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Phospholipase A2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Pla2g2a pla2g2a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"Phospholipase A2, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.
