Pla2g1b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables phospholipase A2 activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; glycerophospholipid metabolic process; and positive regulation of podocyte apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within phospholipid catabolic process. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human PLA2G1B (phospholipase A2 group IB). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

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 Pla2g1b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
