Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the regulation of eicosanoid synthesis proximal to the activation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2)alpha (cPLA(2)alpha), the initial rate-limiting step. The current view is that cPLA(2)alpha associates with intracellular/phosphatidylcholine-rich membranes strictly via hydrophobic interactions in response to an increase of intracellular calcium. In opposition to this accepted mechanism of two...
