Cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of group IVA phospolipase A2

花生四烯酸是一种主要存在于动物体内的脂肪酸。它在许多过程中起着关键作用，从发烧到繁殖。这是如此重要，动物不能使它，如猫，是强制性的食肉，然后从他们吃的肉获得花生四烯酸。然而，人类可以从含有亚油酸的植物油中制造它。在我们的身体中，花生四烯酸隐藏在我们的细胞壁中。一种名为磷脂酶A的特殊蛋白质

Arachidonic acid is fatty acid mainly found in animals. It plays critical roles in many processes, from fever to reproduction. It is so important that animals that can't make it, such as the cat, are obligatory carnivorous and then get the arachidonic acid from the meat they eat. Humans can however make it from vegetable oil containing linoleic acid. In our body, arachidonic acid is hidden within our cell walls. Special proteins named phospholipases A
