Gene information for PLA2G12B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID84647
Official gene symbolPLA2G12B
Full namephospholipase A2, group XIIB
Aliases,FKSG71,GXIIB,GXIIIsPLA2,MGC138151,PLA2G13,
Gene summaryPhospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes catalyze hydrolysis of glycolipids to release free fatty acids and lysophospholipids. PLA2G12B belongs to the PLA2 family, but it is catalytically inactive due to an amino acid change in its active site and has altered phospholipid-binding properties (Rouault et al., 2003 [PubMed 14516201]).[supplied by OMIM]
