Function | PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2- acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides, this releases glycerophospholipids and arachidonic acid that serve as the precursors of signal molecules. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19297324}. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19297324}. Note=secreted from pancreatic acinar cells in its inactive form. |
