Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5321
Gene name Phospholipase A2 group IVA
Gene symbol PLA2G4A
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GURDPPLA2G4cPLA2cPLA2-alpha
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q31.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 group IV family. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids to release arachidonic acid which is subsequently metabolized into eicosanoids. Eicosanoids, including prostaglandi
