Additional notes
- First try to dissolve a small amount of peptide in either water or buffer. The more charged residues on a peptide, the more soluble it is in aqueous solutions.
- If the peptide doesn’t dissolve try an organic solvent e.g. DMSO, then dilute using water or buffer.
- Consider that any solvent used must be compatible with your assay. If a peptide does not dissolve and you need to recover it, lyophilise to remove the solvent.
- Gentle warming and sonication can effectively aid peptide solubilisation. If the solution is cloudy or has gelled the peptide may be in suspension rather than solubilised.
- Peptides containing cysteine are easily oxidised, so should be prepared in solution just prior to use. -

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
modificationsActivated by phosphorylation at both Ser-505 and Ser-727. -
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Translocates to membrane vesicles in a calcium-dependent fashion. - Information by UniProt
