General annotation (Comments)

Function

PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Shows an 11-fold preference for phosphatidylglycerol over phosphatidylcholine (PC). Preferential cleavage: 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) > 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-PC > 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-PC > 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-PE. Plays a role in ciliogenesis. Ref.4 Ref.7

Catalytic activity

Phosphatidylcholine + H2O = 1-acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate.

Cofactor

Binds 1 calcium ion per subunit.

Enzyme regulation

Arachidonic acid release is markedly increased by glypican, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored heparan sulfate proteoglycan.

Subcellular location

Secreted. Cell membrane. Cytoplasmcytoskeletoncentrosomecentriole Ref.4 Ref.7.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in kidney, heart, liver, and skeletal muscle. Also present in placenta and peripheral blood leukocytes. Not detected in brain, colon, thymus, spleen and small intestine. In lung, expressed in bronchial epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages, but scarcely detected in alveolar epithelium, arterial walls and interstitial fibroblasts (at protein level). In joints of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, expressed in endothelial cells (at protein level). In normal heart, detected in some vessels. In myocardial tissues with acute infarction, expressed in vascular endothelial cells adjacent to cardiomyocytes and those in lesions with granulation. Expression in cardiomyocytes is scarce (at protein level). In uterus, breast and colon cancers, detected in tumor cells and neighboring microvascular endothelium, but not in normal glandular tissues (at protein level). Ref.5

Induction

By IL1B/interleukin-1 beta and TNF in microvascular endothelial cells (at protein level). Ref.5

Post-translational modification

N-glycosylation does not affect the catalytic activity, but is required for proper secretion. A nonglycosylated form was observed in several cell types. Ref.5

In several cell types, the N- and C-termini are cleaved off.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAD15617.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.
