Phosphatidate 1-Acylhydrolase; 1-Acylhydrolase, Phosphatidate; A, Phospholipases; A1, Lecithinase; A1, Phospholipase; A2, Lecithinase; A2, Phospholipase; Phosphatidate 1 Acylhydrolase
Phospholipases that hydrolyze one of the acyl groups of phosphoglycerides or glycerophosphatidates. Phospholipase A1(EC 3.1.1.32) hydrolyzes the acyl group attached to the 1-position and phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) hydrolyzes the acyl group attached to the 2-position.
