Facts about Group XV phospholipase A2.
Has high activity with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine (POPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), catalyzing the transfer of oleic acid to N-acetyl- sphingosine. Required for normal phospholipid degradation in alveolar and peritoneal macrophages and in spleen (By similarity).

Detected in blood plasma (at protein level) (PubMed:10092508, PubMed:20410020). Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Detected at lower levels in spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leukocytes (PubMed:10092508).
