General annotation (Comments)

Function	PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Inhibits neuromuscular transmission by blocking acetylcholine release from the nerve termini. Acts presynaptically By similarity.
Catalytic activity	Phosphatidylcholine + H2O = 1-acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate.
Cofactor	Binds 1 calcium ion By similarity.
Subunit structure	Heterodimer; disulfide-linked. The A chains have phospholipase A2 activity and the B chains show homology with the basic protease inhibitors By similarity.
Subcellular location	Secreted By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed by the venom gland.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group I subfamily.
