Positional specificity of lysosomal phospholipase A2

Lysosomal phospholipase A2 (Lpla2) is highly expressed in alveolar macrophages and may mediate the phospholipid metabolism of surfactant. Studies on the properties of this phospholipase are consistent with the presence of both phospholipase A1 and phospholipase A2 activities. These activities were s...
