MeSH definition : A subcategory of secreted phospholipases A2 with specificity for PHOSPHATIDYLETHANOLAMINES
and PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE. It occurs as a component of VENOMS and as a mammalian secretory
phospholipase A2. The creation of this group is based upon similarities in the structural
determinants of the enzymes including a long amino-terminal domain, a conserved group
III-specific domain, and a long carboxyl-terminal domain.;
MeSH synonym : group iii secretory phospholipase a2; phospholipase a2 iii; phospholipase a2-iii; phospholipases a2, group iii;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 3.1.1.4;
MeSH annotation : /antag: coordinate with PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 INHIBITORS;
