Analysis Note

Protein determined by biuret.

Application

Phospholipase A2 from honey bee venom (Apis mellifera) has been usedto determine renal proximal tubular segments (PTS) viability during oxygenation and hypoxia-reoxygenationin the treatment of photosystem-II (PSII) dimer complex of Synechocystis to study changes in oxygen-evolving activityas a standard in phospholipase activity assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hydrolyzes the β-ester bond of zwitterionic glycerophospholipids. Preferred substrates are phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and their plasmalogen analogues. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine are also hydrolyzed. Aggressively attacks phospholipids in membranes of intact cells.

General description
