| Function |
Calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 that selectively hydrolyzes glycerophospholipids in the sn-2 position. Not arachidonic acid-specific but has linoleic acid-specific activity. May play a role in inflammation in psoriatic lesions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14709560}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytosol. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=Translocates to membrane vesicles in a calcium-dependent fashion. Translocates to perinuclear regions upon ionomycin stimulation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in stratified squamous epithelia, such as those in skin and cervix, but not in other tissues. Strongly expressed in the upper spinous layer of the psoriatic epidermis, expressed weakly and discontinuously in atopic dermatitis and mycosis fungoides, and not detected in the epidermis of normal skin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14709560}.
