Entry terms

  • Group III Secretory Phospholipase A2
  • Phospholipase A2 III
  • Phospholipase A2-III
  • Phospholipases A2, Group III

Note

  • /antag: coordinate with PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 INHIBITORS

Scope note

  • A subcategory of secreted phospholipases A2 with specificity for PHOSPHATIDYLETHANOLAMINES and PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE. It occurs as a component of VENOMS and as a mammalian secretory phospholipase A2. The creation of this group is based upon similarities in the structural determinants of the enzymes including a long amino-terminal domain, a conserved group III-specific domain, and a long carboxyl-terminal domain.
