Pla2g12a

Enables phospholipase A2 activity. Predicted to be involved in arachidonate secretion and phospholipid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PLA2G12A (phospholipase A2 group XIIA). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pla2g12a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
