Abstract excerpt
The group IVA calcium-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) enzyme controls the release of arachidonic acid from membrane bound phospholipids and is the rate-limiting step in production of eicosanoids. A variety of different kidney injuries activate cPLA2α, therefore we hypothesized that cPLA2α activity would regulate pathologic processes in HK-2 cells, a human renal tubular epithelial cell line, by...
