This gene encodes a member of the phospholipase A2 family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme. This calciu

Group 10 secretory phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) (Group X secretory phospholipase A2) (GX sPLA2) (sPLA2-X) (Phosphatidylcholine 2-acylhydrolase 10)
Protein function
Secretory calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 that primarily targets extracellular phospholipids (PubMed:12021277, PubMed:9188469). Hydrolyzes the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached at sn-2 position of phospholipids with preference for p
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in spleen, thymus, peripheral blood leukocytes, pancreas, lung, and colon (PubMed:9188469). Expressed in neuronal fibers in dorsal root ganglia and in peripheral tissues including stomach, white adipose tissue and prostate (at pr
