Abstract excerpt
Mammals possess various types of secretory phospholipase A2, which differ in the primary structure and tissue distribution. The phosholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) recognizes group IB phospholipase A2 (PLA2-IB) and mediates the PLA2-IB-induced biological responses in non-digestive organs, including eicosanoid production and contraction of airway smooth muscles. In this study, we generated PLA2R-deficient mice to...
