Description:
PLA2G4D and PLA2G4F belong to the family of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) enzymes, which catalyze the hydrolysis of the sn-2 ester bond of glycerophospholipids in the plasma membrane to produce free fatty acids and lysophospholipids. The cPLA2 enzymes consist of a Ca2+-dependent lipid binding domain and a catalytic α/β hydrolase domain. They are regulated through phosphorylation by mitogen-activated protein kinases. They are involved in various cellular processes, such as hemodynamic regulation and inflammatory response. Polymorphisms in this intergenic region (PLA2G4D-PLA2G4F) associated with HbF levels in sickle cell patients.
