Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; glycerophospholipid metabolic process; and regulation of lipid transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; erythrocyte maturation; and negative regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response. Located in acrosomal vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human PLA2G10 (phospholipase A2 group X).
