The protein encoded by this gene is an A2 phospholipase, a class of enzyme that catalyzes the release of fatty acids from phospholipids. The encoded protein may play a role in phospholipid remodelling, arachidonic acid release, leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis, fas-mediated apoptosis, and transmembrane ion flux in glucose-stimulated B-cells. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been described, but the full-length nature of only three of them have been determined to date.,PLA2G6,CaI-PLA2,GVI,INAD1,IPLA2-VIA,NBIA2,NBIA2A,NBIA2B,PARK14,PLA2,PNPLA9,iPLA2,iPLA2beta,Signal Transduction,PLA2G6
