| Function | Exhibits PLA1/2 activity, catalyzing the calcium- independent hydrolysis of acyl groups in various phosphotidylcholines (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). For most substrates, PLA1 activity is much higher than PLA2 activity. Specifically catalyzes the release of fatty acids from phospholipids in adipose tissue. N- and O-acylation activity is hardly detectable. Also has weak lysophospholipase activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
