Gene information for PLA2G15 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23659
Official gene symbolPLA2G15
Full namephospholipase A2, group XV
Aliases,ACS,DKFZp564A0122,GXVPLA2,LLPL,LPLA2,LYPLA3,
Gene summaryLysophospholipases are enzymes that act on biological membranes to regulate the multifunctional lysophospholipids. The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes lysophosphatidylcholine to glycerophosphorylcholine and a free fatty acid. This enzyme is present in the plasma and thought to be associated with high-density lipoprotein. A later paper contradicts the function of this gene. It demonstrates that this gene encodes a lysosomal enzyme instead of a lysophospholipase and has both calcium-independent phospholipase A2 and transacylase activities. [provided by RefSeq]
