Enzyme Information

3.1.1.4
Phospholipase A(2).
based on mapping to UniProt P49147
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.
3.1.1.5
Lysophospholipase.
based on mapping to UniProt P49147
2-lysophosphatidylcholine + H(2)O = glycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate.
