Melittin and phospholipase A 2 -activating protein (PLAP) are known as efficient activators of secretory phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2 ) types I, II, and III when phospholipid liposomes are used as substrate. The present study demonstrates that both peptides can either inhibit or activate sPLA 2 dependi

Phospholipase A 2 IIA (PLA 2 IIA), which plays a crucial role in arachidonic acid metabolism and in inflammation, is upregulated under various pathological conditions, including in the gallbladder and gallbladder bile from patients with multiple cholesterol gallstones, in the liver and kidney of rat
Serum levels of group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) have been reported to be associated with stage of disease in cancer patients. These levels are also related to the malignant potential in tissues, and are an important prognostic factor. We radioimmunoassayed group II PLA2 levels in pleural and perito
