Among the many mammalian secreted phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2) enzymes, PLA2G3
(group III secreted phospholipase A 2) is unique in that it possesses unusual N-and C-
terminal domains and in that its central sPLA 2 domain is homologous to bee venom PLA 2
rather than to other mammalian sPLA 2 s. To elucidate the in vivo actions of this atypical
sPLA 2, we generated transgenic (Tg) mice overexpressing human PLA2G3. Despite
marked increases in PLA 2 activity and mature 18-kDa PLA2G3 protein in the circulation and …
