The specificity of phospholipase A2 and phospholipase C in a mixed micellar system.
The activities of cobra venom phospholipase A, (Nuja nuja nuja) and phospholipase C (Bacillus cereus) toward different phospholipids in mixed micelles with Triton X-100 are reported. The nonionic surfactant acts as an inert matrix which solubilizes the phospholipids in similar structures; thus, the observed activities can be compared directly. Knowledge of phospholipid specificity is important ...
متن کاملPositional specificity of lysosomal phospholipase A2.
Lysosomal phospholipase A(2) (Lpla2) is highly expressed in alveolar macrophages and may mediate the phospholipid metabolism of surfactant. Studies on the properties of this phospholipase are consistent with the presence of both phospholipase A(1) and phospholipase A(2) activities. These activities were studied through the production of O-acyl compounds, produced by the transacylase activity of...
متن کاملPhospholipase A2 in cnidaria.
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is an enzyme present in snake and other venoms and body fluids. We measured PLA2 catalytic activity in tissue homogenates of 22 species representing the classes Anthozoa, Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa and Cubozoa of the phylum Cnidaria. High PLA2 levels were found in the hydrozoan fire coral Millepora sp. (median 735 U/g protein) and the stony coral Pocillopora damicornis (693 U/g...
متن کاملInhibition of phospholipase A2.
Phospholipases A2 are involved in inflammatory processes such as the liberation of free arachidonic acid from the membrane pool for the biosynthesis of eicosanoids. Inhibitors of these enzymes are proving useful in determining the biological roles of phospholipases A2 in complex cellular processes and may also have therapeutic potential. Inhibition of these lipolytic enzymes is more difficult t...
متن کاملCarvacrol attenuates serum levels of total protein, phospholipase A2 and histamine in asthmatic guinea pig
Objective: Pharmacological effects of carvacrol such as its anti-inflammatory activities have been shows. In this study the effects of carvacrol on serum levels of total protein (TP), phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and histamine in sensitized guinea pigs was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Sensitized guinea pigs were given drinking water alone (group S), drinking water containing three concentration...
