General description

Phospholipases hydrolyze phosphoglycerides to form smaller compounds which often serve as critical second messengers. Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine to produce lysophosphatidylcholine, a second messenger involved in cell proliferation, adhesion, T-cell activation, and smooth muscle cell contractility. PLA2 isoforms include membrane-associated, Ca2+-independent forms, cytosolic, Ca2+-dependent forms, and secretory forms. PLC catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, to generate inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), leading to Ca2+ release and PKC activation, respectively. At least four types of PLC have been identified. PLCβ, is activated by G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) and heterotrimeric G-Proteins. Mechanisms of PLCδ activation are unclear, but may also involve GPCRs. PLCγ, is activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, and appears essential for signaling by the PDGF Receptor. PLCε is a Guanine Nucleotide Exchange factor (GEF) for the small G-Protein Ras. PLD activity is up-regulated when cells are stimulated by hormones, growth factors or other extracellular signals. Two distinct PLDs, PLD1 and PLD2, have been identified. PLD hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine to release phosphatidic acid, which is associated with a number of cellular responses including regulated secretion, mitogenesis and cytoskeletal changes.

Application

Anti-Phospholipase A2 Antibody, clone CH-7 detects level of Phospholipase A2 & has been published & validated for use in WB, ELISA, IH(P).
ELISA: A previous lot of this antibody was used in ELISA.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Immunohistochemistry(paraffin): Representative images from a previous lot.
Optimal Staining of PLA2 Monoclonal Antibody: Colon Cancer

Western Blot: A previous lot of this antibody was used at 1:500-1:1000; antibody recognizes all isoforms, the cPLA. Alpha (85 kDa) typically migrates as 100-110 kDa on reducing westerns; beta migrates as 114 kDa; antibody will also recognize the sPLA at approximately 14-20 kDa.
