Regional differences of phospholipase A2 activity in the rabbit oviductal epithelium
T Morishita, M Nozaki, M Sano, M Yokoyama… - … and essential fatty acids, 1992 - Elsevier
To evaluate the biosynthesis of prostaglandins in the oviducts, phospholipase A 2 (EC 3.1.
1.4) activities were first measured in the epithelial cells obtained from rabbit oviducts. At
least four kinds of phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2) activities with respect to calcium dependency
and pH requirement were observed. There were two calcium-dependent, pH optima of 7.5
and 8.5 activities, and two calcium-independent, pH optima of 4.0 and 8.0 activities. One of
those activities, a calcium-dependent and alkaline active PLA 2 activity of the epithelial cells …
