Function

Calcium-dependent phospholipase A1 and A2 and lysophospholipase that may play a role in membrane phospholipid remodeling. Isoform 3. Calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 and lysophospholipase. Cleaves the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached to the sn-2 position of phosphatidylethanolamines, producing lysophospholipids that may be used in deacylation-reacylation cycles. Hydrolyzes lysophosphatidylcholines with low efficiency but is inefficient toward phosphatidylcholines. Isoform 5. Calcium-dependent phospholipase A1 and A2 and lysophospholipase. Cleaves the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached to the sn-1 or sn-2 position of diacyl phospholipids (phospholipase A1 and A2 activity, respectively), producing lysophospholipids that may be used in deacylation-reacylation cycles. Can further hydrolyze lysophospholipids enabling complete deacylation. Has no activity toward alkylacyl phospholipids.

Activity summary

Cytosolic phospholipase A2 beta (cPLA2 beta) acts as an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids to release arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid serves as a precursor for the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes which are important for inflammatory responses. cPLA2 beta has a molecular weight of approximately 100 kDa. It expresses in various tissues including the brain heart and skeletal muscle showing its importance in different biological functions. Researchers often refer to cPLA2 beta as PLA2G4B as another familiar name.

Biological function summary

The function of cPLA2 beta involves producing lipid mediators playing key roles in inflammation and cell signaling. cPLA2 beta associates with Ca2+-dependent phospholipase A2 proteins forming part of a complex necessary for effective enzymatic activity and substrate targeting. cPLA2 beta influences the production of inflammatory mediators by releasing arachidonic acid from cell membranes. This molecule can then enter different signaling pathways affecting tissue responses to inflammatory stimuli.

Pathways

CPLA2 beta interacts within the arachidonic acid cascade contributing to the cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways. Through these pathways the enzyme aids in the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes substances that mediate inflammation and immune responses. The COX pathway connects cPLA2 beta closely to COX enzymes while the LOX pathway links it to lipoxygenase enzymes. These interactions underline its role in orchestrating complex responses in the human body during inflammatory processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

CPLA2 beta associates with inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. Elevated activity of cPLA2 beta can exacerbate inflammation leading to tissue damage in rheumatoid arthritis. Moreover its link to lipid signaling pathways connects it to atherosclerosis development contributing to cardiovascular diseases. Through these conditions cPLA2 beta interacts with key proteins such as COX-2 in arthritis and inflammatory cytokines in cardiovascular disorders making it a significant target for therapeutic intervention.
