  • Product overview

    Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Assay Kit (ab133090) can be used to determine the activity of cytosolic Phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) in purified preparations, cell cultures, or tissue homogenates. Use of this assay with preparations containing more than one type of PLA2 will result in the measurement of total PLA2 activity rather than cPLA2 alone.

    If you want to detect secretory PLA2, we recommend using Secretory Phospholipase Assay Kit (ab133089).

  • Function

    Selectively hydrolyzes arachidonyl phospholipids in the sn-2 position releasing arachidonic acid. Together with its lysophospholipid activity, it is implicated in the initiation of the inflammatory response.
  • Tissue specificity

    Expressed in various tissues such as macrophages, platelets, neutrophils, fibroblasts and lung endothelium.
  • Sequence similarities

    Contains 1 C2 domain.
    Contains 1 PLA2c domain.
  • Domain

    The N-terminal C2 domain associates with lipid membranes upon calcium binding. It modulates enzyme activity by presenting the active site to its substrate in response to elevations of cytosolic Ca(2+).
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Activated by phosphorylation at both Ser-505 and Ser-727.
  • Cellular localization

    Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Translocates to membrane vesicles in a calcium-dependent fashion.

    Question

    Should I warm up components to room temperature before use? I do not have compressed Nitrogen, do you have any other suggestions for evaporating the ethanol in the substrate?

    Asked on Nov 21 2014

    Answer

    Since this is an enzymatic assays, the kit components should not be ice cold when it is performed. However, the DNTB should be kept on ice. If you do not have access to dry nitrogen gas, you can use a vacuum centrifuge to evaporate the ethanol from the substrate.

    Question

    Dear Supplier,

    We would like to help our customer by ordering them your product. For regulatory purposes we need to know the volume ethanol content of the kit performed according to European legislation in advance.could you please provide the data for this product.

    Thank you in advance.

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us and your interest in our products.

    I can confirm that the Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Assay Kit (ab133090), does contain ethanol. There are 2 vials of Arachidonoyl Thio-PC (Substrate). Each vial contains 10 ml of ethanol. There is therefore a total of 20 mL of ethanol in the kit.

    I hope this information has been of help. Please feel free to contact me with future technical questions.

    Question

    Dear Sir/Madam,








    I am Dr Christina Kanonidou and I am interested in an assay kit for the determination of Lp-PLA2 (PAF-AH) activity in plasma/serum for a research protocol.

    I would be grateful if you could inform me whether you have such a kit available and if yes, could you please forward the relevant prospectous to me?

    It would also be much appreciated if you could inform me about the cost of it and if there is a distributor of your products in Greece.



    Thank you in advance.



    With kind regards,

    Asked on Oct 18 2012

    Answer

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    I am sorry to confirm that we do not offer a kit for the measurement of the activity specifically of Lp-PLA2 (phospholipase A2, group VII (platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase, plasma) = Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 = PLA2G7).

    Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Assay Kit (ab133090) can be used to determine the activity of cytosolic Phospholipase A2 (cPLA2, PLA2G4 = Phospholipase A2, group IVA (cytosolic, calcium-dependent)) in purified preparations, cell cultures, or tissue homogenates.
    Use of this assay with preparations containing more than one type of PLA2 will result in the measurement of total PLA2 activity rather than cPLA2 alone.

    Maybe this kit would be suitable for you?

    Please review the datasheet to confirm that this kit would be suitable for your experiments.

    I am happy to confirm that we sell directly to Greece. Please set your location on our homepage to Greece (in the right top corner). This will provide country specific information about prices and shipping, etc.

    I hope this information is helpful and wish you good luck with your experiments.
