Abstract
Group V Phospholipase A2 (Pla2g5) is a member of the PLA2 family of lipid-generating enzymes. It is expressed in immune and non-immune cell types and is inducible during several pathologic conditions serving context-specific functions. In this review, we recapitulate the protective and detrimental functions of Pla2g5 investigated through preclinical and translational approaches. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Novel functions of phospholipase A2 Guest Editors: Makoto Murakami and Gerard Lambeau.Entities:
