Gene information for PLA2G4B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID100137049
Official gene symbolPLA2G4B
Full namephospholipase A2, group IVB (cytosolic)
Aliases,DKFZp686N12131,FLJ17693,FLJ42498,FLJ53173,HsT16992,cPLA2-beta,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 protein family. Phospholipase A2 enzymes hydrolyze the sn-2 bond of phospholipids, releasing lysophospholipids and fatty acids. This enzyme may be associated with mitochondria and early endosomes. Most tissues also express read-through transcripts from the upstream gene into this gene, some of which may encode fusion proteins combining the N-terminus of the upstream gene including its JmjC domain with the almost complete coding region of this gene, including the C2 and cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 domains.
