Pla2g10 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables phospholipase A2 activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; glycerophospholipid metabolic process; and positive regulation of lipid localization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; erythrocyte maturation; and negative regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle and extracellular space. Orthologous to human PLA2G10 (phospholipase A2 group X). [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 rat Pla2g10 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
