Pla2g4f Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 activity and lysophospholipase activity. Acts upstream of or within arachidonate secretion; cellular response to antibiotic; and prostaglandin biosynthetic process. Located in cytosol; ruffle membrane; and vesicle. Orthologous to human PLA2G4F (phospholipase A2 group IVF). [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 Pla2g4f often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
