Pla2g3

Enables calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of histamine secretion by mast cell; positive regulation of mast cell differentiation; and positive regulation of prostaglandin biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of amyloid-beta clearance; regulation of gene expression; and spermatid development. Predicted to be located in centriole and recycling endosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cranium; genitourinary system; integumental system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human PLA2G3 (phospholipase A2 group III). [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 Pla2g3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
