Abstract		The Group IV phospholipase A2 family is consisted of six intracellular enzymes. They catalyze hydrolysis of the sn-2 ester bond of glycerophospholipids, releasing fatty acid metabolites and lysophospholipids. Agonist-induced release of arachidonic acid for the production of eicosanoids by PLA2IValpha enzyme is important in regulating normal and pathological processes in a variety of target tissues. Here, we compare PLA2IValpha, and its paralogs beta, gamma, delta, epsilon and zeta in term of of their structure, function and regulation.
Summary		Skupina IV fosfolipaz A2 trenutno obsega šest encimov. Encimi katalizirajo hidrolizo sn-2 estrske vezi glicerofosfolpidov, pri čemer nastane maščobna kislina in lizofosfolipid. Največkrat je produkt hidrolize arahidonska kislina, ki se pretvarja v aktivne eikozanoide, ki imajo pomembno vlogo pri regulaciji celičnih procesov v različnih tarčnih tkivih. V tem prispevku si bomo pogledali strukturo, funkcijo in regulacijo encima PLA2IValpha in jo primerjali z ostalimi predstavniki skupine IV fosfolipaz A2, in sicer z beta, gama, delta, epsilon in zeta.
