Enzyme Information

3.1.1.4
Phospholipase A(2).
based on mapping to UniProt P0A921
Phosphatidylcholine + H(2)O = 1-acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate.
-!- Also acts on phosphatidylethanolamine, choline plasmalogen and phosphatides, removing the fatty acid attached to the 2-position.
3.1.1.32
Phospholipase A(1).
based on mapping to UniProt P0A921
Phosphatidylcholine + H(2)O = 2-acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate.
-!- Has a much broader specificity than EC 3.1.1.4.
