Phospholipase (PL)A1 is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids and produces 2-acyl-lysophospholipids and fatty acids. Although PLA1 activities have been detected in many organisms and tissues, their functions have not been elucidated until recently. Currently, six extracellular and three intracellular PLA1 enzymes are known in mammals. The extracellular PLA1s consist of phosphatidylserine (PS)-specific PLA1 (PS-PLA1), membrane-associated phosphatidic acid (PA)-selective PLA1s (mPA-PLA1α and mPA-PLA1β), hepatic lipase (HL), endothelial lipase (EL) and pancreatic lipase-related protein (PLRP)-2, all of which belong to the lipase gene family. PS-PLA1, EL, mPA-PLA1α and mPA-PLA1β prefer phospholipid substrates, whereas HL and PLRP-2 show both PLA1 activity and lipase activity to hydrolyze triacylglycerol. EL has a role in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism by hydrolyzing phosphatidylcholine on HDL particles. PS-PLA1, mPA-PLA1α and mPA-PLA1β have distinct structural features in two surface loops (the l...
