Immunogens

Immunogen:

A synthesized peptide derived from human PLA2G2A, corresponding to a region within the internal amino acids.

Gene(ID):
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the phospholipase A2 family (PLA2). PLA2s constitute a diverse family of enzymes with respect to sequence, function, localization, and divalent cation requirements. This gene product belongs to group II, which contains secreted form of PLA2, an extracellular enzyme that has a low molecular mass and requires calcium ions for catalysis. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 fatty acid acyl ester bond of phosphoglycerides, releasing free fatty acids and lysophospholipids, and thought to participate in the regulation of the phospholipid metabolism in biomembranes. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants with different 5' UTRs have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Thought to participate in the regulation of phospholipid metabolism in biomembranes including eicosanoid biosynthesis. Independent of its catalytic activity, acts as a ligand for integrins. Binds to and activates integrins ITGAV:ITGB3, ITGA4:ITGB1 and ITGA5:ITGB1. Binds to a site (site 2) which is distinct from the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) and induces integrin conformational changes and enhanced ligand binding to site 1. Induces cell proliferation in an integrin-dependent manner.

The genes were clustered into 3 gene sets, each of which was characterized by specific expression profiles, as depicted by a selection of genes characteristic of each cluster. Rows: GO enrichment analysis of DEGs; columns: cells shown in pseudotime order. D Expression of key regulators plotted along the pseudotime axis. E, F The expression of CAF markers (α-SMA, RGS5, and PDGFRα) was detected in HPCs treated with LPS for 7 days and 14 days by immunofluorescence staining. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). G Fuzzy Cmeans clustering identified 8 distinct temporal patterns of gene expression. The x-axis shows three stages of HPCs (control and treated with LPS for 7 days and 14 days), whereas the y-axis shows the log2-transformed, normalized intensity ratios at each stage.
