sPLA2tyypit
sPLA2tyypit refers to the various types of secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) enzymes. These enzymes are a group of hydrolytic enzymes that play a crucial role in the hydrolysis of ester bonds at the sn-2 position of phospholipids. This action releases a free fatty acid and a lysophospholipid. The sPLA2 family is characterized by its calcium dependency and its ability to act on cellular membranes.
There are at least 15 distinct types of sPLA2 identified in mammals, which are categorized into different
The physiological functions of sPLA2 enzymes are diverse and often context-dependent. They are involved in various
