Pla2g4e Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity; and phospholipase A2 activity. Involved in N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process and positive regulation of endocytic recycling. Located in early endosome membrane; lysosomal membrane; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PLA2G4E (phospholipase A2 group IVE). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Pla2g4e often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
