== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the phospholipase A2 enzyme family which hydrolyzes glycerophospholipids to produce free fatty acids and lysophospholipids, both of which serve as precursors in the production of signaling molecules. The encoded protein has been shown to be a calcium-independent and membrane bound enzyme. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009].
* **UniProt Summary**: Has a preference for arachidonic acid at the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine as compared with palmitic acid. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10085124, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9705332}.
