ID:PA24B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Cytosolic phospholipase A2 beta; Short=cPLA2-beta; EC=3.1.1.4; AltName: Full=Phospholipase A2 group IVB; FUNCTION: Calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 that selectively hydrolyzes glycerophospholipids in the sn-2 position with a preference for arachidonoyl phospholipids. Has a much weaker activity than PLA2G4A. Isoform 3 has calcium-dependent activity against palmitoyl-arachidonyl-phosphatidylethanolamine and low level lysophospholipase activity but no activity against phosphatidylcholine. Isoform 5 does have activity against phosphatidylcholine. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Phosphatidylcholine + H(2)O = 1- acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate. ENZYME REGULATION: Stimulated by cytosolic Ca(2+). BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Kinetic parameters: Vmax=7.9 pmol/min/mg enzyme (isoform 5); Vmax=3.6 pmol/min/ug enzyme with cAMP as substrate (isoform 4); Vmax=140 nmol/min/ug enzyme with 1-[14C]16:0-2-lyso-PC as substrate (isoform 5); Vmax=1.6 nmol/min/ug enzyme with 1-[14C]16:0-2-lyso-PC as substrate (isoform 3); Vmax=2.1 nmol/min/ug enzyme with 1-16:0-2-[14C]20:4-PC as substrate (isoform 5); Vmax=0.6 nmol/min/ug enzyme with 1-16:0-2-[14C]20:4-PE as substrate (isoform 5); Vmax=0.8 nmol/min/ug enzyme with 1-16:0-2-[14C]20:4-PE as substrate (isoform 3); Vmax=0.3 nmol/min/ug enzyme with 1-16:0-2-[14C]18:2-PE as substrate (isoform 3); SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytosol. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 3: Mitochondrion membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Early endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Translocates to membrane vesicles in a calcium-dependent fashion. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in brain, heart, liver, cerebellum and pancreas. Isoform 3 is widely expressed. DOMAIN: The N-terminal C2 domain associates with lipid membranes upon calcium binding. It modulates enzyme activity by presenting the active site to its substrate in response to elevations of cytosolic Ca(2+) (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Contains 1 C2 domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PLA2c domain. CAUTION: Most tissues also express read-through transcripts from this gene into the upstream gene (JMJD7), some of which may encode fusion proteins. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAD92387.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally shortened;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
