Biological function summary
Phospholipase A2 contributes to membrane remodeling and the release of arachidonic acid a precursor to prostaglandins and leukotrienes vital for inflammatory responses. It often functions as part of a complex with other proteins that regulate its activity ensuring precise lipid signaling and homeostasis. Understanding PLA2 function leads to insights into cell signaling and inflammatory regulation.
Pathways
Phospholipase A2 plays a significant role in the arachidonic acid pathway and is involved in the production of eicosanoids. These pathways are important for the inflammatory response and involve interactions with cyclooxygenases (COX) and lipoxygenases (LOX). Through these pathways PLA2 activity can influence immune responses and cellular metabolism making it an important component in inflammatory signaling cascades.

Function
Secretory calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 that primarily targets extracellular phospholipids with implications in host antimicrobial defense, inflammatory response and tissue regeneration (PubMed : 10455175, PubMed : 10681567, PubMed : 2925633). Hydrolyzes the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached at sn-2 position of phospholipids (phospholipase A2 activity) with preference for phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylglycerols over phosphatidylcholines (PubMed : 10455175, PubMed : 10681567). Contributes to lipid remodeling of cellular membranes and generation of lipid mediators involved in pathogen clearance. Displays bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria by directly hydrolyzing phospholipids of the bacterial membrane (PubMed : 10358193, PubMed : 11694541). Upon sterile inflammation, targets membrane phospholipids of extracellular mitochondria released from activated platelets, generating free unsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonate that is used by neighboring leukocytes to synthesize inflammatory eicosanoids such as leukotrienes. Simultaneously, by compromising mitochondrial membrane integrity, promotes the release in circulation of potent damage-associated molecular pattern molecules that activate the innate immune response (PubMed : 25082876). Plays a stem cell regulator role in the intestinal crypt. Within intracellular compartment mediates Paneth cell differentiation and its stem cell supporting functions by inhibiting Wnt signaling pathway in intestinal stem cell (ICS). Secreted in the intestinal lumen upon inflammation, acts in an autocrine way and promotes prostaglandin E2 synthesis that stimulates Wnt signaling pathway in ICS cells and tissue regeneration (By similarity). May play a role in the biosynthesis of N-acyl ethanolamines that regulate energy metabolism and inflammation. Hydrolyzes N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamines to N-acyl lysophosphatidylethanolamines, which are further cleaved by a lysophospholipase D to release N-acyl ethanolamines (PubMed : 14998370). Independent of its catalytic activity, acts as a ligand for integrins (PubMed : 18635536, PubMed : 25398877). Binds to and activates integrins ITGAV : ITGB3, ITGA4 : ITGB1 and ITGA5 : ITGB1 (PubMed : 18635536, PubMed : 25398877). Binds to a site (site 2) which is distinct from the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) and induces integrin conformational changes and enhanced ligand binding to site 1 (PubMed : 25398877). Induces cell proliferation in an integrin-dependent manner (PubMed : 18635536).
