PLA1A

SYNONYMS
Phospholipase A1 Member A, PSPLA1, PS-PLA1, Phosphatidylserine-Specific Phospholipase A1alpha, EC 3.1.1.-, NMD, Phosphatidylserine-Specific Phospholipase A1, PLA1A.

INTRODUCTION
Phospholipase A1 Member A (PLA1A) is a phospholipase which hydrolyzes fatty acids at the sn-1 position of phosphatidylserine and 1-acyl-2-lysophosphatidylserine. The secreted PLA1A protein hydrolyzes phosphatidylserine in liposomes. PLA1A hydrolyzes phosphatidylserine (PS) in the form of liposomes and 1-acyl-2 lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PS), but not triolein, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidic acid (PA) or phosphatidylinositol (PI). PLA1A isoform 2 hydrolyzes lyso-PS but not PS. The hydrolysis of lyso-PS in peritoneal mast cells activated by receptors for IgE leads to stimulation of histamine production.

DESCRIPTION
PLA1A Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 454 amino acids (26-456) and having a molecular mass of 49.5kDa.
PLA1A is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
