| 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. |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted. Note=secreted from pancreatic acinar cells in its inactive form. {ECO:0000250}. |
| Top Pathways | Vascular smooth muscle contraction, Pancreatic secretion, Fat digestion and absorption, Glycerophospholipid metabolism, alpha-Linolenic acid metabolism |
