Abstract

Phospholipase A$_2$ (s) are esterases that hydrolyze the sn-2 ester bond in phospholipids, releasing a fatty acid and a lysophospholipid. We previously showed that most PLA$_2$ activity in rabbit renal proximal tubule cells (RPTC) was Ca$\^$2+/-independent, localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER-iPLA$_2$), and inhibited by the specific Ca$\^$2+/-independent PLA$_2$ inhibitor bromoenol lactone (BEL).(omitted)
