Description

PLA2G12B encodes a member of the phospholipase A2 family, group XIIB. This secreted enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycerophospholipids at the sn-2 position, releasing free fatty acids and lysophospholipids. It is involved in lipid metabolism and may play a role in inflammatory responses.
