|
| Function |
Calcium-independent phospholipase A2, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids, PtdSer and to a lower extent PtdCho. Cleaves membrane phospholipids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10744668, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15695510}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in parenchymal tissues including heart, skeletal muscle, placenta, brain, liver and pancreas. Also expressed in bronchial epithelial cells and kidney. Highest expression is observed in skeletal muscle and heart. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10744668, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10833412, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15629460, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15695510}.
