MeSH definition : A subcategory of secreted phospholipases A2 that contains both a negatively charged
carboxy-terminal segment and interfacial-binding region specific for PHOSPHATIDYL
CHOLINE-containing membranes. This enzyme group may play a role in the release of
ARACHIDONIC ACID from phospholipid membranes.;
MeSH synonym : group v secretory phospholipase a2; phospholipases a2, group v; group v spla2;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 3.1.1.4;
MeSH annotation : /antag: coordinate with PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 INHIBITORS;
