General info
Function
Lipoprotein-associated calcium-independent phospholipase A2 involved in phospholipid catabolism during inflammatory and oxidative stress response (PubMed : 10066756, PubMed : 16371369, PubMed : 17090529, PubMed : 2040620, PubMed : 7700381, PubMed : 8624782). At the lipid-aqueous interface, hydrolyzes the ester bond of fatty acyl group attached at sn-2 position of phospholipids (phospholipase A2 activity) (PubMed : 10504265, PubMed : 2040620). Specifically targets phospholipids with a short-chain fatty acyl group at sn-2 position (PubMed : 2040620). Can hydrolyze phospholipids with long fatty acyl chains, only if they carry oxidized functional groups (PubMed : 2040620, PubMed : 8624782). Hydrolyzes and inactivates platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), a potent pro-inflammatory signaling lipid that acts through PTAFR on various innate immune cells (PubMed : 10066756, PubMed : 10504265, PubMed : 11590221, PubMed : 16371369, PubMed : 18434304, PubMed : 7592717, PubMed : 7700381, PubMed : 8624782, PubMed : 8675689). Hydrolyzes oxidatively truncated phospholipids carrying an aldehyde group at omega position, preventing their accumulation in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles and uncontrolled pro-inflammatory effects (PubMed : 2040620, PubMed : 7700381). As part of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, can hydrolyze phospholipids having long-chain fatty acyl hydroperoxides at sn-2 position and protect against potential accumulation of these oxylipins in the vascular wall (PubMed : 17090529). Catalyzes the release from membrane phospholipids of F2-isoprostanes, lipid biomarkers of cellular oxidative damage (PubMed : 16371369).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.
Post-translational modifications
N-glycosylated. Macrophage-derived PLA2G7 carries sialylated complex-type N-glycans that hinder its binding to HDL particles.
